The TWO Types Of "N00b". Which Are You? Please Please Please, No Angry Comments!

Hi,



Hey guys, just takin' my brain for a ramble today, based on a conversation me and my mom had yesterday...We don't really have serious discussions very often, and they're normally not the most interesting conversations, but this one was actually very...Good(Can't think of a better word).



I know this is odd, but I kind of love pschycology...The brain is interesting to me. Disorders and stuff are the most school-y things I'm interested in. If it weren't for me looking like a 12 year old weirdo, I would probably have bought every pschycology book in Barnes And Noble by now. It's just very fascinating, and I spend way too much on YouTube researching this stuff.



This "pschycology ramble", which is the best term I can think of to describe this, is actually to do with blogging. And to do with online life in general, really. Everything I say here is based upon experience on ACC and eslewhere online. It is partly a generalization, so don't take offence to anything...It's just what I think.



I'm sure if you're a teenager, or pre-teen living in developed 2009, you'll be aware of a vocabulary of online slang and text language. The term I'm mentioning is "n00b"(Characterised by chatspeak, poor grammar, overuse of emotes, particularly "rolling eyes emotes", and "smiley face emotes", self-confidence, spamming, overreacting to everything, appears to be unintelligent, childish, and obsessed with whatever is popular in their school at the time. Doesn't understand their n00bishness, and annoys the heck out of all non-n00bs.), which you've probably heard of, and we've all had experiences with these sorts of people...



Well, it seems a lot of non-n00bs(Few and far between) share some chatracteristics. In that they're not the most popular of kids, and tend not to follow trends, or fit in terribly well in real life.



And, the n00bs...Usually obsessed with(At the moment) Twilight, boys, pie, and even if they don't follow some trends, have a generaly good and normal social life offline.



This only occured to me a few nights ago, and it's weird.



So...The two n00bs - Online n00b, offline n00b...Hmm.



The onlien n00b, I've already explaind. Most humans basically want to go with the crowd, and those who don't...I suppose, don't fit. For whatever reason your offline life isn't like someone else's, is what I'm calling the "offline n00b".



This sounds very self-obsessed, but I think I fit into the "offline n00b" category. I'd like to think I'm a better blogger than most people my age, the sort who write 1-sentence posts. I' also like to think I've got more going on in my brain than the average 12 year old(I'm not in any way talking about academic skill. Don't connect it.). I don't follow trends...And I'm the quietest person you'll ever meet. I'm quiet for reasons I'm not going to explain here, and it gives me time to think...I love having debates with myself while everyone just goes on about random stuff.



As I mentioned, the ammount you talk is seems to be a huge factor in your online life. I'm in a great discussin on a "shy people" thread on ACC, and everyone posted has seemed intelligent and interesting to talk to.Coincidence? Decide for yourselves.



Maybe those socialites spent their time talking, and then act like idiots online because they have lost a social ability to think...Hm.

It's just interesting, these characteristics in bloggers. Like, the good bloggers seem to be, how to put it, not the most popular people online...Possibly quiet, or different from the norm.

In fact, the most popular, or "best", aren't really the most popular in childood. Like, peaking in highschool meand failure in life...Though I suppose this is a different idea.

So...which are you...

Good circle of friends offline, complete idiot online?

Quiet, reserved, unique offline, compelling, interesting individual online?

Ah, the two worlds showing their differences...

Please, please, begging you, no angry comments. This is a generalization that I've found to be true. And yes, there are many exceptions. Live with our opinions. I might add onto this later.

Until somtime.

Today My Science Teacher Made Me Write "Ouch!" On His Band Aid...

Hello,





That title isn't a quote or anything...It's true. I'll explain in a second.





First off, I need to get a music ramble out of the way. "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains Of Wayne is pure amazingness. I absolutely hate myself(No surprises there) for liking the damn song. Stupid pop-punk...It's so addicting, if the song is good. Most pop-punk songs are either amazing, or completely awful. I have to say, this song is good...My 2nd favorite pop-punk song(1985 beats it!) ever. Second off, Punk Rock 101 by Bowling For Soup is so good. Another stupid pop-punk obsession...





And, to redeem my obviously rubbish musical tastes, I have to say I love Oasis at the moment. I put Morning Glory for the first time a few days ago...And I. Am. Addicted. Especially "She's Electric", which is one of the best songs ever written. Can't wait to see these guys in August.



Onto whatever. In Enrichment today, I was basically sitting there doing nothing, pretending to be writing a poem and a romantic story at the same time, and my Science teacher just comes in and comes up to me..."Can I borrow that pen?", Obviously, I say "Sure!". And my science teacher, in typical Mr B action, says "Can you write "Ouch!" on my band aid?". o.O What on Earth?! So, I did, and I can say that's a first in my life. I messed up the exclamation mark so it looks like "ouchl", but...it was odd. Very odd. But Mr B's weirdness makes him cool.



In social Studies we had a sub, and we got to write two-collum notes. Not much to say about it...I don't get the big deal with two collum notes. They're not too boring. In fact, I found today more interesting than the typical lesson. Teachers who talk for years on end I find to be unbearably boring. Notes actually take up time, and keep you doing something.



In Science we're making these little car things...Ours, in typical myself style, are named Brandon...And Fredericka, but you can guess the sort of input I had in that one. Our propullsion system turned out to be a total failure, too.



Engineering we didn't get to go outside(Rain, oh how I love it! And, proper rain!) so we stayed in and planned our adjustments to our bottle rockets.



In gym, avoiding all possible work proved more difficut, with these sheets that show what exercises we do. I filled the thing out in 5 minutes, and continues with my normal bsiness of wandering, the bikes, and sitting in the locker room with my friend. Good thing is, my gym teacher really couldn't care about what we did. He's one of my favorite teachers. You can do whatever, as long as you're not sitting down or spending the whole period in the locker room, and still get an A!



Math was a review for a quiz tomorrow...Nothing to report there.



And LA was hell. Poetry Day. Ugh. The most awful day on the history of existance. This time, we're forcefully entering in the town library poetry contest. Mine being super cheesy poems about cats and my childhood(Describing how "magical" my childhood was. Am I the only one who missed out on a magical childhood? I watched TV, and ate too much junk food, and stuff. Not to say my childhood was wasted...Moving on.). My computer didn't print, which caused my teacher to be unnecesserily sarcastic about the whole thing. I'm not retarded, I know how to print, okay?

That was my day. I don't even know why i'm wiritng this, I barely said anything about it. I changed my background yesterday, as you can see. I loved the old one, but some of the writing was hard to read.So...I changed earlier today. I have such an odd persoality...Rainbow and darkenss. It; just because I love color.

My iPod is broken, for the billionth time, so I'm bored. Probably why i posted this.

Oh and my friend made a blog a few days ago! Go to www.dailydoseoflaughs.blogspot.com to read it!

Until sometime,

15 Random Things That Annoy Me

Hey guys,

^Woot. Title. I was just thinking about this during school today, as I find a lot of things annoy me. I wasn't thinking about this as today wasa a bad day, as it was actually pretty good. Due to all the snow, we got out of school early(15 minutes!!). Nothing too big happened today. We were doing some cool experiments with speed in Science, taking notes in SS, talking about steroid use in LA, MCAS review in Math, watching a Quincinera movie in spanish, doing nothing in Engineering, and reading in Enrichment. There, that saved me several paragraphs worth of writing, in one sentence. But, moving on...

1. Tan UGGs. Yes yes, it appears you either like UGGs on you don't...But in this Day And Age, you've just got to put up with them. They're a fad that's managed to last ages, and I don't see dissapearing for a while to come. So, I've been doing my best to just put up with the stupid, clumpy boots. But, the tan colored ons just drive me insane. No sure why, they're just so bland, boring...And everywhere. They seem to be the most common. The brown ones I dislike but I'm tollerating, the black are alright, and the gray are actally a very pretty shade of gray. But these, I just want to be gone...Gone...Gone...Anyone want to accompany me on a raid to every UGG factory on Earth? No?

2.Those random party phone calls. This is the main reason I don't wish to have a cell phone(Even though I could have one, if wanted to). If you have a cell phone, you've probably gotten a random call from someone, saying..."Um...hey...We're at so and so's house, and...um...we're bored...So....I just kinda called you to...um...hi...*giggle*HI????!!!! HEY CAMO YOU THERE IT'S MEEEEEE I JUST TOOK THE PHONE...*screaming* Hey, you still there? Sorry, that was so and so...HEY OH MY GOD...Okay...well...bye!", you know? I've certainly been at Friday night parties, and this has happened. I cant imagine how annoyed I'd be if this happened to me...Geez, just leave me alone.

3. When people don't use the term "depressed" PROPERLY. I said this a while back, and I mean it. You get kids doing the wole "Ugh, I'm so depressed" thing, when they don't even know what depressed means. There's more to it than sadness, and more to it that sadness that lasts one day. We all get those days when nothing makes us happy, but we aren't depressed. Most of the kids who say that are saying it because of homework stress or boy troubles, and that will go away within 24 hors. A lot of them have never experienced depression, and will never experience depression. It's just pathetic(Once again - I'm not depressed. Although I write as if I am, all the time.)

4. When people stereotype, with little knowledge o the stereotype. You know, black t-shirt = emo, sort of thing. In the summer, ths girl kept calling me emo...In baggy t-shirts, no jewlery, blonde hair, baggy shorts, sneakers. If you're going to stereotype me, at least get your facts straight first.

5. Whe people make the most unncecessery, obvious remarks and observations. I don't have an example of this...But, it's just useless nothingness used to fill silence. Silence is good. The people who talk all day long, usually with nothing of worth to say, drive me insane. If you've got nothing to say, don't just say stupid remarks for the sake of it.

6. When people assume the only music I listen to is The Killers. So, I'm having a music conversaion, and someone comes and says "What you talking 'bout?". My response will be "Music", and then their response will be "The Killers, AGAIN?". I listen to this band 100 times more than any other band, and more than is probably healthy. But, it's because I currently love them more than anything else. And I may not listen to as much music as most people, but I still listen to other music. I buy songs off iTunes(Songs the average 12 year old won't have heard of, but anyway.) and I buy CDs. And I love my random musical trivia. I have more music than The Killers in my life.

7. Poetry. Oh my gosh, it's just awful...Waste of paper and ink. Certainly, I love lyrics...I love analyzing them. But actual poetry just puts me to sleep.

8. When it rains, but only rains a bit. I love that really heavy, cool-sounding rain when t hits windows. Pouring down rain...But that "raining only a little bit" rain I hate. I WANT RAIN! REAL RAIN!

9. The Ting Tings. Hehe, they just suck, don't they?

10. The cover of Arctic Monkey's "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" CD. It makes you wonder...Who thought a guy smoking was a good idea for a CD cover? It also makes you wonder who that guy is, and why he was so unlucky. This is basicaly the ugliest cover I've seen, and the fact that it's at the top of my alphabatised CD stack and I have to look at it every day, doesn't really make me want to listen to it. It's a shame, the actual album is amazing.

11. One-Hit Wonders. Those songs we've all heard, but the band has never released anything good except one song. It's just...awful. Just because Survivor released "Eye Of The Tiger", it doesn't mean we should remember them...Or the song, I think the song itself is pretty bad. Especially if you find a song you love, to a point where you'd want to listen to every song the band has ever made, and that's the only good song. It's annoying.


12. Pencils. Um, I know this is odd. But pencils are just...horrible. We have pens, why not use them? For everything, basically. It doesn't really matter if they're more permenant, if you just neatly cross out a mistake, you'll be fine. Plus, they break, and get blunt after 5 minutes.


13. Those parents who are obsessed with their child's safety. We all know them, the sort that appear to have read every parenting book ever written, and aren't afraid to show it. A child is a child, surely, you don't have to be quite so obsessed...They'll turn out fine. Especially those mothers who go and complain to adult TV shows about the content of their shows...They show them at 9 at night for a reason, you know.



14. When people's jeans are too short. Hehe, it isn't my choice, I know, but it just really bugs me. Especially flared jeans. Flared jeans that are too short...No one wants to see your ankles.


15. The sickening overuse of the "peace sign" It's "the thing" at the moment. You know, draw peace signs all over your stuff, pretend to be a hippie(A very hypocritical hippie, most of the time) and everything. Peace is just really naeve...Peace will never happen. And most 12 year olds aren't hippies, stop using the damn peace sign.

That's it.

Bye for now!

The Best Of YouTube

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night,

Today has been realy, really boring. I've seriously been online all day...Especially YouTube. Since joining YouTube a few weeks back, it has completely taken over my life. So, this post is simply about me yapping on about some YouTubers I would recommend watching!

Wheezywaiter. Wheezywaiter is basically the funniest person alive...I'm such a wheezywaiter fangirl <333333. His sort of humour is hard to describe...But unlike anyone else i've found on YouTube. Videos to see - Take On Chores, Flock Of Bagels, Band Practice.



Nerimon. The "lesser known friend of Charlieissocoollike". Very very funny and entertaining to watch. Videos to see - Harry Potter Is Gay!, Frubes, Wine Gums.


And, of course, Charlieissocoollike. A very well-known YouTuber, and for good reason. Coco would back me up in saying how funny his videos are...And, Charlie was actually the first vlogger I watched, since July. Videos to see - The Purple Man, Wine Gum Experiment, HandiPhone.


Toddly00. Part of the "beard competition" with Wheezywaiter a while bacl. I discovered him through fiveawesomeguys...Erm, not sure what to say, except he's a great vlogger. Videos to see - Skillz, Day 8, Gladiator Mice.

Fiveawesomegirls, who I discovered via Chareliissocoollike. He talked about them quite a lot, and then I was sick one day I decided to watch some of their videos, and became sort of obsessed that day...Since they're a colleboration/diary-like channel, I can't really pick a few favorite videos. But, they're all...awesome?

And in turn, fiveawesomeguys. I believe, directly inspired by fiveawesomegirls, and it was these two channels that commercielised the "fiveawesome" idea that so many people are doing. I find that most of them are really awful and boring, but these two are worth watching.

devilishlypure, who is a fiveawesomegirl...Tuesday, I think. Since a lot of these are based upon her songwriting, it's hard for me to choose a favorite...Each person's musical tastes are different, obviously. But if you want to listen to some great music, she's the channel to go to.

hayleyghoover. She's another fiveawesomegirl, I'm not sure which one. Videos to see - High school, School dance, Motivation.

vlogbrothers, the creator of the YouTube vlog(Well, what made it popular.). Two brothers who communicate through posting videos...Originally, the only means of communication. But now they just post videos every now and again. Since they have 449 videos(!!!), I can't really choose a favorite...But there's a "To See" playlist on their channel, if you want to watch some videos.

WHATTHEBUCKSHOW, is a "YouTube News Reader" or so it seems. He just gives his opinion of the weekly gossip and such...Your favorite video would vary, depending on what interests you. But, watch some and see.

geniatric1297, I actually only found very recently. But, he's awesome...81 years old, and posting videos on YouTube. Way to go!!

JohhnyDurham19, I actually only subscribed to today. He's Friday on Fiveawesomeguys...And, I'm not too familiar with his videos yet. But he's great!

I know, it's very sad but...itschriccrocker. Sad, isn't it? I'm sure most of us are familiar with the Britney Fan Crying video, but I find him pretty entertaining, even though most people find him pretty obnoxious. Videos to see - Where's The Pink Berry?, Makeup Is My Friend, Chris Crocker Breaks His Silence.

And...yes. That's all I feel like doing. I knew I ahd to update today, as it's been like four days. This is horribly written, so I'll edit later and make it better. I've got homework to do...

Oh, and enjoy the new background! And the iPod - The songs will change weekly based on what I've been listening to this week, to keep it interesting. I'd highly recommend listening to it, they're great songs, and you might discover some new music you'll love. I'll change it every Sunday with 10 new songs(Some might remain, It all depends on what I like at the time), but remind me, as I'll probably forget.

Bye for now!

Yet Another Useles Ramble About My Day...

Good afternoon,


Hey blog readers. Just thought today I'd go on a pointless ramble about my life. My last post reminded me how much I enjoy doing this. This is probably because I'm very selfish and like to stay in my own life. But whatever it is, I seem to live to ramble about my day. I'd make a very good diary-keeper. I did get a diary when I was about 8, then wrote three or four times. What's there to rant about when you're 8? Rants are fun to write. Or maybe I'm just weird. That's probably it. So many questions. Such obvious answers. Moving on...

Yestersay was a bad day, I suppose. That's why I didn't post. And I've been preoccupied with stuff in my brain today(Not Brandon related. I'm serious), on top of other stuff. Apparently, Coco's had a bad day too, and is going into depression...Other than the fact that the world doesn't use the term "depression" properly(Sorry, had to say that. That bugs me. Not that I'm depressed.), but hope your day tomorrow is better, Coco!

My other computer caught a virus the another night, again, which means I can't go on the websites I want to, and my Dad is paranoid that YouTube keeps giving us viruses. It also means that I avoided some homework last night...Invoving printing off stuff to put on my "real estate"(Hard to explain...). I actually have most of my stuff saved on this computer, but, he doesn't need to know that. Also yesterday, we fired some of our "bottle rockets" in engineering. Bottle rockets, outside, New England, March. It was not, to say the least, a pleasent experience. I used my time wisely...By a)Walking over black ice b)Pointless thinking c)scraping snow onto my Chucks(Probably not the best idea in the world. Couldn't feel my feet till 4th period) d)Time guessing e)Begging a bottle rocket would hit someone's car f)Lookin' all emo.

On the other hand, school today was...good(Like, oh my god!! I KNOW, RIGHT?!). An odd day, but good(Formality bores the heck out of me).

Social Studies proved to be boring, however. We always, in my school, do these "educational activites", to make things more interesting. I cannot stand these. They are more proof of our idiotic, over-complicated school society that makes every minute more painful for me. It's impossible for me to explain to you why I hate these so much...But, an obvious thing, is that we don't need games to learn. We're not four(Though 95% of people at my school have equivilant intelligence). In fact, I'd find taking notes a better and less-boring/embarssing/pointless use of my time. I am sick to death of geography games...

And Science. Um, nothing too negative to say to this. Mr B just yaps on about whatever(He reminds me of the guitarist in The Killers, Dave. He's all space-y and out of it.), this time it was rollercoasters. He's the sort of person that would make a great blogger. Truth is, no one except him really cares about the stuff he talks about. I suppose this is another reminder of how oddly people seem to run schools these days.

Nothing to say 'bout Enrichment. I read...A really awful book. So I just vacantly followed onto the "giggle gang"'s conversation. Hehe.

In Gym we've started a new unit - Exercise Room. Which is very, very boring indeed. Not in the league of volleyball, but I still hate it...Actually, half way through I just wandered into the locker room and sat there. It's very stupid indeed how much I hate gym(and school in general) but I've got to a point when I just don't care.

Hmm, 5th period was interesting. The beginning of our Spanish party was interrupted by a dicsussion in the auditorium about harssment. But, the Spanish party was actually alright. I had like 10 mucnhkins...And some chips. But it was nice. For the first time in ages, people just left me alone. It felt soooooo good.

We had short Math/LA classes, for a reason I will explain in a minute. Math was as-always. LA I...basically, hated. I can't write poetry for my life.

And, after lunch(Which involed me eating nothing, and a rather short and unecesserly-dramatic argument between some people, that could have been easily avoided. ) we went into the auditorium to watch this Canadian school's musical group give us a little concert. I was, of course, very excited. No matter the song(Unless it was consistantly awful), I'd take live music over my iPod any day. I was right by the amps(And, coincidentally, at the angle to the stage I was at my Killers concert). To my side, there was a group of 20-or-so girls by mics, and across the stage a guy on keyboard, and some guys on guitars and bass. It was sure to be interesting. It's so cool to hear music at school. They started off with an epic song by Journey(Not that it was an outstanding song. But that's really the only way to describe Journey...). They were, seriously, very good. Energetic and all. And the people near me were doing the whole "I'm going deaf!" thing. Am I the only one who thought the sound was bearable? Maybe it's 'cause I listen to my music really loud all day. The next few songs were all the "classics"...Haha, I actually preffered this to a lot of the songs later on. The next was Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell". Which is an absolutely amazing song. The guy in keyaboard intro-d it by "This song is before your generation. But, teachers, who likes Billy Idol? *teachers screaming*. Who had his haircut back in the 80s? *more teachers screaming*. They also did something good by The Who. And something by Kiss, which I didn't like so much. And then they did Decode by Paramore...Which, sadly, I kind of like. Paramore are in the top percent of all the awful mainstream bands around at the moment. They did that Taylor Swift song...Which is like, the bad version of "A Dustland Fairytale" by The Killers. They did..."When You Were Young!". it was intro-d by "This is a little song we took from Guitar Hero". And, you just hear that riff...And I did the whole "Oh my god...". And I stared back to find my best friend, and giggled, and nearly screamed. I'm serious, it was incredible. It just made me hyper...And happy. It's so cool how happy this band makes me feel. It's, in a very cliched way, love. With a band. I was freaking out, and could have run a mile by the end, shaking and jumping up and down to my friend after with joy. Joy...Um...yes, I'm still on a high. it gave me such a flashback...And, wow...I didn't know it was possible to stutter in typing. But, this is what this band makes me do. Ah...*sigh*, I love you Killers. Ah, should move on...the rest sucked. People started moshing during "Hot 'n' Cold"(Heading banging to Katy Perry...What is wrong with the youth of today?!). Then, some Pat Benatar(The girl singing main was AMAZING). And "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", and ended with Viva La Vida. Me and my friend were the only ones not on our feet. But I was in such a trance from When You Were Young, I couldn't care less about Coldplay. I was on such a high after the whole experience...I want to go to a concert so badly. Don't care who. I just need some more live music. It was a truely magical experience. Someone actually got an autograph from one of the singers...But, that's just odd.

So, that was my day. I have a load of homework to do this weekend, including a project I need to start. Bye.

Until sometime,

Party Over Here!

Hello bloggers,

Well, I actually have big news today! For the last couple o' days, I'v been dying to post, but with nothing to post about. I ended up saying some stuff about US "gods"(Haha, sounds odd. Maybe I'll write it decently some time, and then you'll understand), and that was only about three sentences. But anyways...

With "many more" to be announced apparently. "Many more" being around 15, I think. The ones in bold are the ones I'd like to see. Still hoping for Kaiser Chiefs! The headliners are The Killers and Oasis. The Killers being on Saturday and Oasis being on Sunday. I woke up about 5 this morning after having a dream about Dave('twas his birthday!) and couldn't sleep. My mom was on the phone to my uncle, who were getting the tickets for us(Being so early because of the time difference). Turns out after much struggling and computer-freezing, he got us tickets for the weekend! Then later in the day, my friend's mom called, as they were getting tickets to come with us. They ended up only getting tickets for Saturday. So, they get to see my freakout for The Killers! Excited? What do you think? This gives me something to count down till after May 9th.

This news made my friend RAH sufficiently jealous today(Though she seems to be moving away from The Killers. She's "into" some emo/screamo band at the moment), but I haven't told many people. But, yay!

I suppose I should talk a bit about myself at the moment, as I seem to always do. Today, I have to say, has been a sort of bad day. This weekend, however, has been going alright. 'cept Sunday I got banned from the computer for, pretty much nothing. But yesterday was a snow day! I can't say I used the time too effectively, other than organsing my CDs into my room. I did buy a new CD - "Under The Iron Sea" by Keane. And borrowed two Arctic Monkeys CDs from my mom. And bought new songs for my iPod("Get On Your Boots" by U2, "Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins, "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam, "Kids" by MGMT, "Graveyard Girl" by M83, "Use Somebody" by Kings Of Leon,and "Ulysses" by Franz Ferdinand. And, why oh why, don't they have "Yesterday" by The Beatles on iTunes?).

School today has been a pain. First off, I lost my calculator. My calculator, being the calculator with "Brandon jr." written on it. In LA we were "debating". About? Many things, including Michael Phelps, and the economy. My group did, "Should we be aloud to wear hats in school?". Geez, it's clothing, why does it matter so much? Of course, I hated the whole experience. He knows I don't like reading, it isn't going to change anyday soon. He gave me another "Talk more, you're too quiet" speech at the end of class, again. 'cause it's not like I hear that all the time. And it's not like anyone understands. Or will actually change me. To me at least, the people who did the whole full-out "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, my name is ****** and today I am talking to you about..." thing gave off the "Who Do You Think You Are?!" vibe. Haha, I hate that kind of behavior. My rule to live by - "If it's decent, it's good enough.".

Math, my teacher found my calculator! Good thing she's 50-something and couldn't read the little writting along the bottom...Otherwise, that would cause some severe embarassment. But, she couldn't have been more of a "female dog" about it. I now realise how much I can't stand her. As far as she's concerned, she's always right, you're always wrong, and she's gonna make it quite clear who she does and doesn't like. The people she does like being, as far as I know, all female. In particular, one "perfect girl". I sit next to her, which makes her hate me in comparison. She announces to the class "Camo, looking for your calculator?", and then pulls the unnecesserily patronizing face, like I'm five years old. It's not like people don't think I'm retarded enough already. And this isn't the first time. A few weeks ago, we were reading in Enrichment and she was checking our projects, and she comes into the room and announces "You spelled "Collisseum" wrong!", with that expression again. And, I checked, and the way she wanted me to spell it was incorrect. So, who wins? Ask her, and I was of course clearly wrong about everything. I'm wrong about life, in her eyes. She's such a...

Moving on. Enrichment. We started off with a 20-minute speech. We currently have these small poster things up on the wall, each we decorate to example our best examples of work. That's with the speech started out with. And then a girl gave a speech about her breast cancer project. This sounds realy selfish, but I'm sick of all this stuff. She's doing it for her Bat Mitzvah. And, so(this is what everyone does)..."Hmm...what should I do....Er.,..um...who cares, I'll do breast cancer" no one cares anymore. We know the facts, and it shocks and surprises no one. Then, we were told to clean out our lockers. A quick five minutes and I was good(Odd, compared to last year.). And then I wandered around...and got told off again. Seriously, if they don't give us anything specific to do, what do they expect? I ended up with five minutes writing Killers stuff.

Spanish and Engineering were pretty average. We're congigating verbs in Spanish at the moment. I don't really get the big deal, it all seems pretty simple of you re-read it a few times. Hard to remember, but simple. We're currently aloud to sit wherever, so I'm alone in the back of my class(Total heaven! <33). This means I get to stare at the clock, not work, and avoid having to work with anyone, a lot of the time. Plus, I have a weird paranoid hate of sitting in the front of the class. It's stupid, and impossible to explain. Engineering, we watched the most boring movie ever. We get it, "Engeneeing is everything!". Okay?

Well, that's my day at the moment. I'm tired now. And bored. And I have homework to do.

Speak soon,
