MLAATR- My newest obsession?
This is a random post about my newest obsession, an awesome (if rather sci-fi) TV show called 'My life as a teenage robot'. It's a random show about, well, a teenage robot called XJ-9 by her 'mother' (inventor), Dr. Nora Wakeman, but she renames herself Jenny in a futile effort to fit in and be like a normal girl. Her best friend Brad, who lives next door, is headstrong, wild, and always wants to tag along in Jenny's extreme battles and daily save-the-world missions into outer space/other planets. He saw Jenny as a great friend from the moment they met. On the other hand, his little brother Tuck was convinced, the first time he saw her, that Jenny was a murderous, unfeeling monster who would kill him or Brad at a moment's notice. As oppose to Brad, he prefers to stay on Earth surrounded by familiar faces than go running all over the galaxy. He also suffers multiple strange phobias. Sheldon, a stereotypical 'geek', is so smart he can do binary functions in his head and invent any robot/high-tech weapon/little random thing under the sun.
He's a little odd-looking but kind of cute, and maybe loves machines a little too much for his own good, and immediately falls for Jenny! While she likes to hang out with him as a friend, the thought of dating him makes her appliances hurt. He doesn't give up though (not by a long shot!) and is constantly showering her with ingenious gifts and little hints showing his huge crush. Sadly, Jenny is usually too busy saving the world to pay any attention to poor Sheldon, and spends any of her 'romance time' chasing after 'The Silver Shell', a mechanical suit actually invented by Sheldon, (episode 10)who sits inside him and uses a loudspeaker as a voice, when he wanted to show Jenny that robot boys are jerks by making Shell be mean to her, in one of the many fruitless attempts to make Jenny date him.
Dr. Wakeman is Jenny's "mom"/inventor, and while she's a genius-great at doing complicated formulas and scientific equations in her head, as well as inventing awesome robots, machines, and high-tech weapons, she's not so good at talking to Jenny about teenager things like boys, cliques at school, popularity problems, etc., and sometimes has a way of making Jenny feel left out, and also even more odd at not only being a robot but-
OKAY!!!!!!!!!! OKAY!!!!!!!!!! OKAY!!!!!!! I think I've blathered about this show and its characters long enough!!!! Sorry. Now is it easy to see how obsessed I am with this?!
I first saw this show three years ago when it was still on TV, at my cousin Pheobe's house the day before her wedding in Pittsburgh. I was immediately hooked! I don't even know why, but anyway, I forgot about it until a few days ago when I was just fooling around on Youtube and a video about it popped up randomly on the sidebar! I found a few episodes, including the first one I ever saw (Victim of Fashion, episode 24) . But there isn't coverage of all episodes on Youtube, and if you stay there you'll be missing some great ones! So what I did was found a list of all episodes on Wikipedia, and then Googled the ones that looked good. I'll post a link of the list in case anyone is interested:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_My_Life_as_a_Teenage_Robot_episodes
There we go. That contains ALL episodes in all three seasons, descriptions included. I'll also see if I can post a video of the first episode to orientate you guys, and then you can do the rest for yourselves. Hold on a minute.
Okay, I'm really sorry but I can only upload videos from Youtube, and not Veoh where I found the first one. I'll just choose a good episode for you guys.
There we go! Future Shock is a good one (episode 15) and also very funny. My favorite part is where Tuck states that 'He can be a big girl!!" ! Hope you guys watch this and share my obsession!

Blackberry
This is a post about my new pet, Blackberry.
She is a 3-month-old Holland Lop and practically the CUTEST THING THAT EVER LIVED!!!!!!!
I love her SOOOOO much!!
She was my birthday present on Feb. 2 (Not my real b-day, but close enough!) after we went out for Turkish food to celebrate my birthday and give my awesome sister Rachel a nice little send-off BECAUSE SHE WENT TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(pant pant) We really miss her but she's making new friends and having a big adventure, which I guess is good, but we REALLY miss her. At least she got to see Blackberry before she left! ;)
So, here is the strange story behind Blackberry's arrival: We were going to see if Petco had any bunnies, because they were doing this adoption thing. So we were going to Petco anyway, to get dog food, and we talked to a staff member who said they weren't even DOING the adoption!!!! >:( So then we decided to try Agway, because sometimes they have bunnies, but THEY said they didn't even get 'spring things' (bunnies/chicks) until MARCH, and there was NO WAY I was waiting that long!! So finally we tried Petland as a last resort, and lo and behold, they had two adorable 3-month-old baby bunnies!!! <3
One was all black with perky ears, a regular-sized, regular-shaped rabbit(cute, but still pooh!) AND THE OTHER WAS BLACKBERRY!!!! And the ironic thing is that a Holland Lop was the exact kind I wanted, but after looking all over I thought I would never find one, when all the time there was my dream bunny less than a half mile from my house!!!!!!! So we brought her home, fell in love with her, and are very, VERY happy!
*UPDATED* Blackberry is settling in beautifully and is at this moment hopping around my living room, getting some exercise time out of her cage. I <3 my baby!!
