Title Goes Here

Today, I made a sign for my closet that is hidden behind my clothes. It makes references to Narnia, Buffy and Twilight (The last is not a good reference). It was the highlight of my day. Am I a sad, sad, lonely person? No. Am I a pathetic nerd? Yes. Yes indeed.

But that is what the Internet is all about. If there is no place that a nerd can not be loved and adored like they should, they will always know that the Internet is their home. Some believe that these nerds who spend "too much" time on their computers do not live good happy lives. I know that the truth is that the nerds are living much more fulfilled lives. The nerds who spend time on the Internet are only gaining ideas of awesome things that they can do that will make them a million times better than non-nerds. After spending almost three days on the Internet because of the flu, I have gained an immense amount of wit and sarcastic humor. And what good would the world be without these nerds and their amusing wit that they share and spread throughout the world?

That's right! No good at all! Just like knock off Converse the world would have no reason to exist. So thank the nerds who spend their time on the Internet and the people who climb to the back of every closet looking for Narnia. They make life amusing.

!!!!!!!!

I've come to the realization that for some reason the flu makes me use lots of exclamation points. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just more excitable when I'm sick.

Mind Yor Manners!

I can not think properly due to an awful combination of medications, so what better time to write a blog?

You know what I was thinking about today? Well, first I was thinking, "I wish I could just throw up already." Then I did, and I thought, "Wow, I feel better." Then there were a couple hours where I was kind of awake, but kind of asleep. Then I ate some rice. Then I watched part of a movie where two guys ripped their shirts off and I almost texted my friend about it but then I was too tired to. Then I saw something about Nicholas Cage!

I once saw Nicholas Cage while I was in New Orleans. I didn't really care. Not that I don't like him, it's just I have nothing interesting to say to him and I'm sure he feels the same way about me. I also once stood right next to Scarlett Johanson or someone else like that, but I didn't notice or really care when my dad told me. Celebrities are just people, that have way too much of their personal lives broadcast to the public. It's kind of cool, but mostly annoying. After all, no one likes it when that annoying girl in Chemistry class comes in crying about her boyfriend and wont stop talking about it for a few hours, so why do we really care about the plastic-surgeoned girl on the cover of People?

Well anyways, I thought about Nicholas Cage and other famous people I've seen when I remembered that I once saw a bright pink sports car. Of course I took a picture of it, but the person in the car did not seem to appreciate my picture taking. Well, I figured they were someone famous, but I didn't really care. After all, their car was probably much more interesting than them. Still, isn't it strange that someone would buy a bright pink sports car and then not appreciate pictures being taken of them? Things like that are just asking for attention. People shouldn't be surprised when they actually get it.

Flu You!

I don't really feel like writing a blog today because, 1) I probably have the flu, according to my doctor and 2) I am taking medicine because of my probably having the flu that has made me feel better in some ways and worse in others.

So, why am I sick so often? Well, I didn't know. I wash my hands and use hand sanitizer after I sneeze. I try to stay away from people who could be sick. I don't have a particularly healthy diet but I try to eat well. So why all the sick?

Well, I have a vitamin deficiency which apparently weakens my immune system, so my chances of getting sick are a lot higher than most people's. And when I do get sick, my illness can be make me feel even worse because I've had mono and apparently it can make your glands enlarge and exhaust you. So yay!

Well, I'm going to sleep now, because my "probably flu" is making me feel really sleepy. Goodnight!

Scary Things

My family's annual Halloween Party is just over a week away! I, of course, am completely unprepared.

I still don't have my costume. I will have to get that Sunday probably because I don't know of any other day that I can.

I have just barely started working on the editing for the movie we made. By the way, I'd have to say the filming for that went well, for a lack of words to describe any of the things that actually happened....

Oh and I am so not prepared for the tons of candy to be consumed while watching lame horror movies with my friends.

So, while the zombies and vampires and werewolves and creatures are all getting ready to emerge at the end of this month, the thing that I fear the most is not having enough time to get everything done. I mean, come on! I have midterms this month! Isn't that enough to worry about?

My Brain Loves You!

Learning is important. I think that statement is nearly indisputable. Even among my fellow classmates, the idea that learning is important is a universal one. After all what could we do without learning? Is it even possible to live without learning?

While learning is important, I think the way you learn things and the things that you learn vary greatly from person to person. One person may read a well-written book about physics and know just as much or more as a person who spent a year taking a class. So while everyone can agree that learning is important (I say everyone because in the case of this blog, people who don't think learning is important are considered too stupid to be considered a living being), I think, very few can agree on how or what we learn.

Take, for example, the many college graduates that I know in my life who have a career that barely relates to their major, if it even relates at all. They spent years getting that major and now they aren't even doing something relating to it. For this reason, I must assume that it doesn't so much matter what you learn, but that you learn at all. I guess in some cases, learning something specific to do a specific skill is important, like studying medicine to become a doctor. Still, I think for a majority of people, it doesn't so much matter what they learned but to know that they spent a good amount of their time learning.

But what exactly is it that they learned that's so important? Is it the skills of a hard-working person they earned? Did they learn to be charming and polite? What did they learn that makes them so much better than everyone else?

I know that at the end of this year when I earn my high school diploma, it wont mean that I'm any smarter than someone who didn't earn their diploma. It wont mean that I learned valuable life lessons by going to a school full of a variety of people. It wont mean anything at all, except that I lived up to some other person's standards of education. Sure, I learned but that diploma is not the most important result of that learning. I don't need their pretty piece of paper or praise. I'm grateful for all of my wonderful teachers but learning is something that anyone can do on their own and they should never have to live up to any other person's expectation of an education.

There are so many different kinds of educations. Sure the straight-A student at my school could easily get into Harvard, but how would they do wandering around the streets of L.A.? The girl who's read every book she's heard of, could probably catch any literary reference in any of the media, but could she conquer basic math? I think people get so caught up in educating themselves one way that they fail to see all the other things they could learn.

So many people are always working for that diploma, but do they fail to learn about the world or people or life?

Sometimes...

Sometimes I wish we lived in a world where you feared that zombies might be lurking around the corner.

Sometimes I wish that teenage girls really did find out that they were destined to be a princess.

Sometimes I wish that a superhero had to come to the rescue of some potential victim on a daily basis.

But then I think. All those zombies would probably smell pretty bad and I don't know about you, but I don't like my brains being eaten. I mean I know that school is slowly frying my brain in a boiling pit of stupid, but I'll still have a brain once high school is over. With zombies roaming the planet, I would be dead.

And then if all these teenage girls found out they were princesses of a foreign country or a distant universe then it would kind of take the fun out of being a princess. The reason girls want to be a princess in the first place is because it makes them unique and "better" in some ways. If lots of girls were princesses then nobody would want to be one anymore. The trend would so be over.

And superheroes rescuing people would be super cool, but our town already has a lack of crime and a surplus of wannabe heroes. Any superheroes around here would probably be bored out of their minds. So bored in fact that they would have to turn to a life of crime and evil. No good can come out of a superhero in the suburbs.

So, I think you can guess that sometimes I make wishes that aren't so great. Never any of those stupid "Be Careful What You Wish For"- story wishes, like "I wish you'd never been born!", but more like, "I wish that pigs could fly."

In order to prepare for the next time that I'm able to make a legitimate wish I will now compose a list of non-stupid wishes.

• I wish that my room was always clean and good-smelling.
• I wish my hair always looked beautiful
• I wish that I had a photographic memory
• I wish I were super athletic without having to work out
• I wish I had 30 pairs of Converse, and a huge closet of nice clothes
• I wish I never have to think about money

See the way I think about it, selfish wishes are the way to go. I mean sure, the "I wish all the abandoned kittens in the world had homes" wish sounds really nice, but how would that work out? Would I then wind up with a billion homeless kittens at my door. Then again you can't be too selfish. Like wishing to be a super rich billionaire and then not even considering donating some of that money to charity is kind of a really rude thing to do.

So be a little bit selfish. After all it's your wish! If someone just comes up to you and hands you free ice cream and they obviously aren't a creeper that's trying to drug you then you eat the ice cream. You don't walk around for hours trying to find someone more deserving of that ice cream than you. The ice cream will get all melty and gross and no one will want it then anyways!

So keep your wish and eat it too! And make sure to wish for something that isn't stupid, like zombies, even though they are kind of cool in movies and stuff....
