Valentine Festival of Scotland. And Texas. And don't forget Guantanamo.

First of all, I just wanted to do an update on what's happening: this weekend is the Scottish Festival, and the day after that is Valentines day, so we have decided to sort of combine the two. None of us are huge fans of Valentines day to begin with (it's a Hallmark holiday, nothing more. If you want your loved one to know how much you really love them, then pick a random day of the week, month, year, whatever, and show them just how much. You don't need a made up holiday to do that), and we all want to go to the Scottish Festival this year (we haven't gone since I don't know when, and we are all very proud of our Scottish heritage, the Shaw Clan from my mom's side), so we will be celebrating Valentines day by going to IHOP for breakfast. Then we shall be going to the Scottish Festival after that (which is located at the Queen Mary in Long Beach). I don't know exactly what will happen once there, what we'll be buying, who we'll make friends with, whether or not we'll run into more Shaw Clan, or what, so I'll try and post again some time tomorrow, most likely in the late evening, just to let ya know. What I do know is that we're going to have fun, and so is our Nana, who can now come places with us much much easier. Before, we had to stuff us all (five people, holy crap you have no idea how hard that is) into a two door pickup truck, but now, we can all sit luxuriously in our four door Dodge Ram, with a Hemi. Yeah, you heard right, a Hemi. Have I not posted pictures yet? I'm surprised, I wanted to, I guess I just lost track of what I was doing. Hey, here's one now:
Meet Bella, our southern bell! (Everything's bigger and better in Texas, get it?)

Nice, right? And bonus! We have my cat Joey in the shot as well (he's right by the back tire, in case you didn't notice)!!!

Anyway, now that that's through, I'd like to gripe just a little bit: what in the world does our President think he's doing?!? Remember when in election, he said that he would pull all our troops out of Iraq? Well, he lied, evidently. He just sent thirty thousand more troops over, and has not pulled any out. Ugh, am I the only one here getting worked up about this? I mean, he makes all these promises, and instead he just does the exact opposite of said promises! And you know how all our prisons are too full here in America? Well, he's closing Guantanamo Bay. You know, the prison where we keep all our terrorists locked up? Yeah, he's going to disperse all the prisoners from Guantanamo to all of our own prisons, here in the United States. Oh yeah, that'll solve our crowded prisons problem!
Any-way...I'm gonna stop griping now, before I get too worked up and turn this into a super-huge-blog.
Blog ya later, Miss Eccentric.

My top hottest guys

Okay, so I accidentally came across a hot vampire poll when searching for Angel seasons, and the guys they all thought were totally hot got me thinking: I know of some actors that are totally more hot than the guys they think are hot. So to prove my point, I have found some pictures of ten different guys that are totally hot, and I would like to know your opinion on who you think is the hottest out of my hotties. I for one can not pick between my hottest of hotties, so help me out here. Now, I must warn you, before continuing, you might want to get a few tissues for the drool, and take a deep breath. Also, I should add that these pictures are in no particular order, so don't go thinking that I'm playing favorites by the placing of said pictures. And it's pretty long, but completely worth it.

1: Johnny Depp

Who doesn't like the pirate look?

Voted worlds sexiest man alive, twice.

2: David Boreanaz

Now's the time for the tissues, to sop up the drool.

Who doesn't love a hot brooding vampire? I know I do.
Speaking of vamps...

3: Peter Facinelli

I don't know about you, but I think I need a doctor.

Now I know I need a doctor...

4: Robert Pattinson

But of course I could not bring up the Cullen's without including vamp-hunk Edward.

Some girls say he looks too girly. Does this look girly to you? (hint: NO)

5: Jackson Rathbone

Out of all the Cullen guys though, Jasper just doesn't get enough credit for being a total hotty. Not anymore though, thanks to me.

Bad Jasper, we love you!

6: Aiden Turner

Ah, yet another hot vamp...Although not from Twilight, instead BBC's Being Human.

What is it with vampires being so hot, anyway? I swear they're all hotties these days...Not that I'm complaining.

7: Sean Connery

Ah, one of the classics...And my Mum's personal fav (this is for you, Mum!).

Mum says he's one of those hotties who just keep getting better with age.

8: David Tennant

"Barty Crouch Jr. Deemed Lickable", reads the Daily Prophet.

"To be, or not to be". I don't know, but you could just keep asking till I do!

Why Doctor, you look good for 900 some-odd years! (Sorry, couldn't show David Tennant without a Doctor Who reference)

9: Julian McMahon

No wonder Phoebe went gaga over Cole Turner for so long...(Charmed reference, it's all I got)

It's always the bad boys, I'm telling ya...

And finally, 10: Matt Bomer

Voted sexiest uprising star.

Not even Neal Caffrey could forge those looks...

And that's it. Wow, you're very lucky I got all the way through that without blushing my way into a corner to hide in...Yes, I know a good hotty when I see one (obviously, have you not seen the lineup I have?), and I'm not afraid to point it out, but posting it online where friends and family can all see it? A tad embarrassing. But I got through it, and now I feel better.
Okay, so I'll put a poll at the bottom of my blog, and you can vote for whichever guy you think is the hottest of hotties (from my selection).
Now go drink some cold water!

Super Bowl XLIV

Today is the 2010 Super Bowl!!! The teams playing today are the Indianapolis Colts, and the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are supposedly the underdog, from what I understand, because the Colts' quarterback (Peyton Manning) is really good. In my opinion, I think that the Saints will see this coming, and overcompensate for the fact that they have Manning, and shut him out altogether. I even placed a bet with my Bro that the Saints would sack Manning and injure him in some way at least once in the game (by injure him, I don't just mean he'll be hurting at the end of the game, I mean they'll actually have to take a knee at least once, and send medics out there to see if he's alright). I also bet that the Saints would run in a touchdown from the fifty yard line or more at least once by the end of the game (slightly unlikely, because big dramatic touchdowns like that are rare, but I'm still willing to bet that the Saints are determined enough to pull it off). And of course, I am rooting for the Saints, but you've probably already figured that out, huh? It is pretty obvious. Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now, and later (after I watch the game, of course) I'll add to this post and let you know how it all went (whether I broke the bank, or struck gold).
GO SAINTS!!!
Until later today, Miss Eccentric.
(Just in case you're wondering, XLIV means 44 in Roman Numerals)

Way later today...

It was their first Super Bowl ever, they came from 10 points behind and went to 14 points ahead, and they are....The Saints!!!
Was I surprised? Absolutely not. Obviously, I knew from even before the game that the Saints would indeed win. And I have this blog to prove it. The best part? I won fifty cents from my dad, the genius (and I'm not exaggerating, to be a genius your IQ has to be 140 or higher, and his is roughly 160 or more last time he checked). Right before watching the game, we all (my Bro, Mom, Dad and I) placed our fifty cent to a dollar bets, and I happened to bet my dad that the Saints would run in a touchdown from the fifty yard line or more. Well, Tracy Porter (cornerback to the Saints, and yes, cornerback, not quarterback), ran 74 yards to the in-zone, assuring New Orleans' win (31 to 17, in case you're wondering). The other bets placed earlier today by family and me:
Bro bet Mom that Peyton Manning would throw a touchdown in the first half, gaining fifty cents from Mom.
Mom bet Bro that the Saints would win the coin toss, gaining fifty cents from Bro (they called heads and got it).
Bro bet Mom that the Saints would kick instead of receive, losing fifty cents to Mom.
Dad bet Mom that Peyton Manning would score only two touchdowns, but the Saints would win anyway, gaining one dollar from Mom.
And finally, I bet Bro that Peyton Manning would get injured at least once during the game, unfortunately losing fifty cents to him.
I also bet my Grandfather on my mom's side that the Saints would win, so he owes me a dollar for betting that the opposition would win. But I'll collect later.
In other news, I have predicted that there will be a new sports drink, called New Orleans Brees, after the Saints quarterback, Andrew Brees. They'll have a commercial about it and everything. It'll have Drew Brees, and he'll be throwing the bottle really far or drinking it or something, and then he'll say something like, "Wanna throw like me? Drink Brees."
Any-ways...That's all I got for now, folks. It's time for me to end this post. But before I go, Congratulations New Orleans Saints!!! You all deserve it, and one more thing...Who dat!!!

Save Eastwick!!!

I just remembered...
Have you ever heard of the ABC show called Eastwick? Well, they're canceling it, which really sucks because in my opinion it was the best witchcraft-related show since Charmed. So I have decided that I want to ask all of you to please help me save Eastwick, by signing these two petitions (they are both free online petitions, and you don't have to give out your real name):
Petition one
Petition two
My family and I have all signed both petitions each, but it would be greatly helpful if some of you would sign it as well. In order to save such a fabulous show from destruction, we must all band together against the TV companies who cancel our favorite shows! We must stand as one, and shout aloud, "WE WANT OUR SHOW BACK!!!" in all caps.
Okay, that is all. You may proceed in signing said petitions.
Blog ya later, Miss Eccentric.
P.S. SAVE EASTWICK!!!
