People these days.
People.
Not all people. Just the ones in my school. Well, the people my age.
Teenagers, more or less, drive me up the wall.
Yes, I am one of them. But they are seriously annoying.
I don't really think I act like one most of the time. Or think like one.
If I hear one more girl complaining about how her boyfriend (who is actually gay, but the rumor hasn't reached her yet) "broke her heart" even though they are "so totally in love" I am going to strangle them. Seriously. Love doesn't count until at least 11th grade. Because as far as I'm concerned, no 14 year old knows what love is. Another thing that bugs me is how unconcerned they are about their lives and their future and all that. Seriously, people, there is a world outside of myspace.
Who knew!
Speaking of myspace, I think that's one of the most incredible wastes of time. Seriously. Okay, I'm done saying seriously. But all these kids (and adults, as well) do is sit on their butts in front of a computer screen and copy and paste all sorts of codes and crap to change their myspace page and for what? Nothing. Okay, it's a communication thing, sure. But it also allows a bunch of other people who do not need access to your personal information to get it.
And then today in Digital Photography we had to introduce ourselves to a partner and then introduce them to the class, considering it was the first day and crap. So when my partner asked me what my hobbies were and stuff (lots of "like"s in just that one sentence). I said--being all honest and crap--reading, writing, and dancing. Then he asked me if I watch tv and I said that I did, but not a lot. So he was like, "You really live a sheltered life, don't you?" And I said, "I suppose." Because, well, what else could I say? Not too much without being all in-your-face about it.
One more thing that bugs me. When people use AIM slang in real conversations (i.e. LOL, BRB, etc. etc. etc.) it really bothers me. It's like HELLOOOOO! THOSE STAND FOR WORDS, YOU KNOW. USE THEM!!
Okay. Done now.
Okay so that was today. Yesterday and Tuesday. Finals.
They were all surprisingly easy. Probably because I crammed nearly nonstop up until the day of. In Web Page Design I got a 98%, which isn't really hard to acheive in that class. In History I got a 90%, which was way cool. Science was way easier than I thought it would be, considering I actually studied. German was also easy, except for like 1 part that was super confusing. But, all in all, easy as pie.
Okay. I think I've done enough complaining for one day.
DID YOU KNOW
that Shakespeare, one of our greatest writers, stole most of his plays and just made up crap?
Uh huh. Totally true.
Bye!

Top 10 (again)
My Top Ten Favorite Songs as of January 28, 2008, 6:14 PM Eastern time
10. Into the Night by Santana featuring Chad Kroeger
Even though this one has that dude from Nickelback in it and I loathe Nickelback, it's got a good beat.
9. Dude (Looks Like a Lady) by Aerosmith
Tehe.
8. Disconnected by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Sweet lyrics. Not much left to say.
7. Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi
Uh. Lyrics again, I suppose. Way sweet and there's actually meaning to it.
6. In Defense of the Genre by Say Anything featuring Gerard Way
Um, hello, Gerard Way. Officially awesome.

This is actually playing on TV right now.
4. Love Song by Sara Barielles

I don't really like them, same with a lot of people, but this one has a good beat and all that crap.
Drumroll please.......
1. Start All Over by Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus's music is actually a lot different than Hannah Montana's. It's more mature and all that junk.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Now, that does sound pretty dirty, but that's not what I mean.
In this thing we were reading, Abraham Lincoln used this metaphor involving a chicken. So, a girl in my class was all "If chickens lay eggs that are supposed to hatch into chicks, and we eat chicken eggs, aren't we eating a baby chick?"
Mr.Robbins called some science teacher at the high school and asked her about this, cuz he was way confused. She said that the eggs we eat aren't fertilized, so it isn't a baby chick.
It was one of those You Had To Be There moments.
Anyway, when I was on the bus today, I realized that all the songs I heard on the radio today I also heard yesterday, so I have compiled a list of the ten most overplayed, annoying songs on the radio.
And here you go:
Ten Most Overplayed, Annoying Songs Played on the Radio Today
10. Misery Business by Paramore
Don't get me wrong, I love Paramore. But this song is played way too often. I loved it when it first came out (and Hayley's tights in the video) but now it's way too overplayed and it's getting old. But that's just my opinion.
9.The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls
Once again, I love Boys Like Girls and all, but they completely destroyed this song by playing it on the radio so often. It used to be one of those songs that made you wanna blare it super loud in your convertible. Now it's more like one of those songs most likely to make you change the station. Their new song, Hero/Heroine, is close to catching up.
8. Bubbly by Colbie Calait
This song is actually super cute, but every time I listen to the radio it's on. It's toning down a little bit, but only because it's old.
7. Apologize by Timbaland feat. OneRepublic
I actually like this song. But it gets annoying after the first chorus. Same as the rest. It's getting old.
6. Take You There by Sean Kingston
I absolutely hate Sean Kingston. He's got one of those voices that makes me cringe. This one's really getting on my nerves.
5. Crank That (Soulja Boy) by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
Yeah. This one is self explanatory. Stupid, meaningless, annoying song, stupid, meaningless, annoying dance accompanying said song. I had no idea there was a dance to this song until the Homecoming Dance. And let me tell you, the students of PVHS are not talented dancers. The vast majority, at least.
4. Tattoo by Jordin Sparks
At least this one has a meaing. Somewhat. Too repetitive for me though.
3. Low by Flo Rida
This one is just plan annoying and super repetitive. Meaningless, too. Yeah.
2. No One by Alicia Keys
This one gets on my last nerves. I know almost all the words, which, if you know me, says something. Super annoying.
1. Rockstar by Nickelback
I absolutely hate Nickelback. And this song is way too cliche. It basically says that every single "rockstar" is a drug-using, super-rich, snobby, playboy. Which is so not true.
Okay. So. There ya go. Enjoy.
DID YOU KNOW
William Taft once got stuck in his bathtub because he was so fat?
True fact.
bye!

How Far We've Come by Matchbox Twenty
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hlqfpPf_EO0
Dedicated to Heather!
Mmkay. Now I'm going to blog about my favorite books of all time (to date):

Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
One word:awesome. Read if you haven't.

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
This one's about a guy that buys the ghost of some dead dude on the internet and the dead dude kinda sorta posesses him. Not really posesses. More like haunts. Not advised to read before bedtime.


Peeps and The Last Days by Scott Westerfeld
Basically a scientific/parasitic version of vampires. Way cool and informative. Tons of info on different parasites. Peeps is from the point of view of a carrier of the parasite, The Last Days is from the point of view of a bunch of different kids in this band and 2 of them contract the disease. Way cool. Awesome author.

The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot
Susannah Simon, 16, moves from Brooklyn to California after her mother remarried Andy. But Suze can also see and speak to the dead, which has always been a pain in the rear until she met the 19th-century hottie living in her bedroom, Jesse. Soon things get pretty heated between them, but there's no way it can work considering he's, well, dead. Also some other crap that's way interesting to. Go read them. All 6 of them.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
You may not know who Charlie's writing to, but he certainly tells it how it is. Or more like how he thinks it is. This is a story about a teenage boy discussing his feelings and telling his story to "a friend". It's very touching, really. Read it.
Also, I recommend pretty much anything by Meg Cabot or Scott Westerfeld. Super amazing authors.
DID YOU KNOW
Dust is 95% human skin tissue?
Yeah, think about that next time you're avoiding dusting.
Bye!
