My philo. notes are not mentally inspiring. I just feel mentally tired. I have nothing interesting. I do believe that this is my most boring post. I shall do better tomorrow.

A Compliment to the Sexes
Here's a long awaited, albeit short, philo. note.
For the past few days, I have been pondering a question. Why does a compliment from a person of the same sex seem to be more light-hearted, while the same compliment from a person of the opposite sex is taken to heart? It seems that this phenomenon can be traced back to one person: God. In His infinite wisdom, He planned every minute detail of man's and woman's relationships. I know, that at times, when one looks at the personality of man and the personality of woman, one thinks God must've been having a fit of hysterics as He planned this all out. I can be included in this bunch. However, man was made specifically for woman and vice versa. Thus, when a person of one sex receives a compliment from the opposite sex, it is taken to heart because that is simply how we are wired.

Happy Holidays??
Is it just me, or do other people also feel the icy cold chill of fear when they hear the phrase "Happy Holidays"? How can you say "Happy Holidays" when one is trying to write Christmas cards, make gifts, wrap gifts, buy other gifts, work on music for a performance AND help decorate for Christmas??? Oh yah, we're also supposed to focus on Advent too....*looks at schedule* *looks up toward the Heavens* "Ok, God, I can fit you in at 10:05 PM, but you gotta be outta here by 10:15 'cause I got a bucketload of stuff to do!" *thunder rumbles* "Ok ok ok, 10:17?" *thunder rumbles again, louder this time* "ALRIGHT! 10:20, but NO LATER! And if you even THINK about sending down that bolt of lightening....*glares*" *thunder rolls gently*
The above is comical, I'll admit, but it is also quite true in many cases. People get so overwhelmed by the gifts, the cards, the parties, the glitz and glam of the holidays, that they forget why we even have Christmas in the first place. For the majority of kids, it's a day that they get boxes of toys from relatives and Santa. For the adults, it's a time to throw parties and have fun with their closest friends, which includes poppin' some bubbly. If you ask kids what Christmas is about, they will most likely say one of two things: toys or toys. The adults would most likely answer: spending time with family. Now, neither of these answers are bad, but they also aren't that good. Christmas is a time of giving and receiving, spending time with those you love most, but it is also a time of shedding the old and bringing in the new. That is the most cliched saying known to man, but it's actually quite true. Yes, friends, Christmas can be about the glitz and glam, but after the parties and toys, what's left? Memories, yes, but even those fade with time. Why not try to focus on the God portion of Christmas? This is one part of Christmas that won't fade. It just keeps giving and giving all year long. So, pop some bubbly and let the kids play with the toys, but take some time to meditate and remember that Christmas is about Christ.

Double or Triple Life
Tonight's post is going to be on the tangent of society and the fear of people's opinions. Hope you enjoy!
Have you ever felt like you have been leading a double, or at times triple, life? You are one way with these people, this way with those people, and that way with these people. Or, you are always the first person to offer help, always smiling even when you are...let's say, extremely irritated with the world, always helping even when it makes you late, behind, or in a sticky situation. However, on the inside you are griping and groaning, wondering why this person can't do anything on their own, why any of this matters, etc. What I'm trying to say is, why is it so hard to match the inside with the outside? Are we afraid of being scorned for suddenly showing what we truly feel? Is it the fact that we are trying so hard to live up to the expectations of friends, family, co-workers, etc., that we sacrifice ourselves in the process? Why do we let ourselves be a mannequin of happiness? We aren't made of foam or plastic. We are humans! We are meant to feel anger, jealousy, love, happiness, sadness, etc. So, once again, why do we cover up our true feelings? This can be summed up in one phrase: fear of people's opinions. We are afraid to show love because of the possibility that we will be denied. We are afraid to show jealousy because we do not want to be thought of as a hateful person. We are afraid to show anger because we do not want those closest to us be afraid of us. We are afraid to show sadness because we do not want to be thought of as weak. Everything is covered, besides happiness, due to fear of other people. Why should we let the opinions of others stop us from being human? Are we suddenly animals, with only instinct to guide us? No! Now, I am not saying that every time you feel angry you should go up to the person that you are angry with and just start beating him up. Rather, I am saying that you should be able to say to that person "I am quite mad with you. I am mad because of (insert reason(s) here)." You should be able to do this without fear of having the other person walk away. Society has made us believe that we must conform to what the majority wants. This, my friends, is not what was ever planned when the American society was born. Freedom to express oneself is what America was all about. Now, America is about keeping everything in perfect order...everything the same. Should we really continue like this or should we break away from the norm?

Mental anguish >.<
Ok everyone, tonight is just gonna be a philo. note.....one loooooong philo. note. I know have been going on a "being true to oneself" tangent, but for tonight, I'm gonna veer off into a totally different tangent....the area of relationships. I have had a headful of info from both other people and just my own stuff, so I needed to clear my head. Hopefully, this will help me and those of you who read this stuff. Note: This isn't really a "food for thought" philo. note, it's more of a "sorting things out that are racing in my head" philo. note. I still hope you get something out of this.
Have you ever met or known someone for a really long time? Like say....9+ yrs? You and that person are quite comfortable with each other. You can just stand in total, complete, utter silence and still feel as if nothing is wrong. You feel safe, warm, comforted, happy....you don't feel afraid to say anything to that person because you know that person will not judge you or say anything negative to you because that person has been in the same situation. Now....what if you don't want these feelings? What if, with this person, you don't want more than friendship? What do you do? Do you just live with these feelings? There are, it seems, to be only three routes to go here.
Route 1: Take the person aside and tell them everything, then go onto the next step.
Route 2: Don't say anything and let everything go on as normal.
Route 3: Tell them everything, but try to keep a facade of normalcy.
Let's now examine each route.
Route 1
Ok, so you tell the person everything, and you decide to go onto the next step. This is exactly what you didn't want, and you are also now stuck here unless one of you breaks the other person's heart. Sticky situation. If you are in high school, you are still maturing. A relationship takes time and effort. Generally, those who were high school sweethearts do not get married. In my personal opinion, this is because they never had the time nor the maturity to nurture a strong bond. High school, be you freshman, sophomore, jr or sr, is full of decision-making and maturing. Having to keep up with school, work(for those who have to pay their own way to college or who just want some extra dough), deciding where to go for college, extracurricular activities, keeping up with family...add a relationship on top of that and the stress level has skyrocketed. Also, a person is not fully developed, mentally, until their early 20s.
Route 3
This is being discussed next because it has the same theme as Route 1. Trying to keep a facade of normalcy is hard to do. I mean, once these feelings are out in the open, how do you go back to what was "normal"? The whole dynamic of the two of you has changed because, with the feelings out there, the rules of the game have changed. This also clouds the mind in making important decisions. (Note: the rest of "Route 3" examination is my sole opinion, and is not endorsed by any medical facility or doctor.) People who choose this route tend to either a) become morbid b) alternate between happy and morbid or c) just reclude into themselves. Letter a) is heart wrenching for everyone to watch because they want to help the morbid person get out of their morbidness. Letter b) can be dangerous because the toxins of the brain that release in moods of happiness and morbidness can quite easily clash, generally turning this person into a psychopath. Letter c) is even more dangerous because the person is so recluded into himself that he can no longer function properly. Either way, this route will generally cause pain on one or both sides.
Route 2
Ahhh...Route 2 is, it seems, the least of the three evils. First off, neither side has to worry about breaking the other side's heart. What you don't know can't hurt you. Secondly, if one realizes that this is just a blown up crush, there is not as much heartbreak, or there is none at all. For the one who is still "in love" it is easier to move on when he realizes that the other person is truly happy. For the one who was doing the crushing...this is just a memory and this person can still have a pretty good friendship with the other person.

Christmas cards, gifts, etc.
I am done with my Christmas cards!! :-D There were just four of 'em, but when one is making them herself...four can be quite a large number. :P Now, it's just wrapping those darned gifts....*mutters*
I went to a party last night...the annual 4-H County-wide Christmas party to be exact. I taught the 4-Hers that were there the wonderful game of Scream 'n Die. :-D We had fun doing that.
Today, I go to another party. This time with my high school religion class. We'll go bowling and then eat out. Can't wait to do that! :-D
And here's another philosophical note for you people to ponder over...
Say a person is always bubbly...always the crazy one, always the one who tries the hardest to lighten the mood, always the one who looks at life like it's just one big adventure, etc. This person has been like this since who knows when...Now, what if this person is doing this to stop those closest from getting too close? What if this person is doing this to, just for a small moment in time, stop the pain and feel happy again? Is this person being true to who he is?
Just fyi, I plan to hopefully have a philosophical note on every post, and for right now, it'll be of a being true to oneself theme. So, be prepared for one heck of a rough ride.

Nothing too much...
I spent about 40 min last night chewing out a group of purple belts. We have testing on Monday and everything they were doing was lousy! Stances, reaction force, focus....lousy lousy lousy! So, I got to nitpick 'em within an inch of their lives. Ahhhh...the sweet evil bliss of being a black belt.
I'm looking forward to the end of the month....somewhat. :P I'll get to spend an entire day with three people that I enjoy hanging out with, and then I get to meet a new person....scary(for them, not me ;-)). I have finally figured out a creative way to present their gifts to them for Christmas. Hopefully they won't figure it out too quickly.
On the school front...nothing much to report. I got an A on a paragraph that I had to write on a book that I read. Still need to take the test on that same book. So, for now, I'm pretty much just taking every day one at a time. It turns out that it's easier that way.
On the 22nd, I'll be performing on piano for the senior center here in town. I have about...14-15 songs planned, but I may need to drop it down to 12-13. I'm having trouble getting a few of the Christmas songs down. Also, trying to practice piano with a 2 yr old who is always saying "I play the piano w/ Renwen" is a lil difficult, particularly when the 2 yr old says it with a gigantic grin on his face. :P But, I believe that I shall make it through. If I fail...well, that's the worst that could happen. If I don't....hey, I'm set for life. ;-)
Philosophical Note:
Ok, here's something I would like to present to you ppls who read my blog...say you are a person who feels confident in himself, but has the...weakness(?) of trying to make everyone happy, no matter what. Other people tease the person a lot, but he rarely speaks out because he knows that they don't mean it...the only time he asks them to stop is if it just got to the point that he could barely control the rage. They are just having some fun, right? Does doing this mean that he doesn't have confidence in himself?
Also...a friend of yours has known you for quite a few years and has yet to run screaming in utter horror. This person must obviously a) think you are a wonderful person and b) like you to some extent. What if, even when you know all this, you still have this creeping doubt in your mind that this is too good to be true? That this person is just putting up with you because he feels pity for you? Is this another case of lacking self-confidence?
This is all I've got...Laterz!

Sorry, everyone
I just haven't had anything exciting happen to me for the past few days, so there hasn't been much to post about. This one will be quick and to the point.
School is same old same old. I just came to the realization tonight that next year, I'll be going to my local community college for a class, keeping up with Seton and working, as well as doing piano and guitar. What happened to my life?
Oh yah, I have finally succeeded in getting under my friend's skin. Go me! :-D
Nothing else...Laterz!

An Explanation of the Previous Post
OK, when I was ranting and raving about school in the previous topic, I forgot to say that I am actually going to be done in time for a holiday. I'm just gonna have to knock one week off, so instead of 3 weeks, I only get 2. But, 2 is better than 1 or none. ;-)

School.....and more school
Here's a hint for all people going through school, be it college or high school: DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO STUFF. Every single year I wait until the last minute to do something. Mainly, I wait until the last minute to send in geometry or whatever mathematical subject I have for the year. I wait and wait and wait, too scared to find out how bad I am at this subject. X_X *continues to rant and rave at self*
*breathes* Moving on...I still have to finish wrapping the gifts that I bought for my friends, plus finish making a few of 'em. I then still have to make and send out Christmas cards. Yes, people, this year I am bound and determined to send out Christmas cards to ALL my friends. If any of you send me one, sweet...if not.....*goes to coal mine and starts to stock up* ;-)

*groans in pain*
*gently nurses battle wounds* Ouchywawa! I had taekwondo class tonight and we sparred for the last half hour. I sparred...7 people tonight, all in about...eh, less than 20 min. I then decided to have a grudge match with my instructor. He injured me during our first match, so I wanted some of his blood because he took some of mine. I ended up basically dying. Oh wells, at least I got to let out some frustrations. :P
Speaking of frustrations...I am starting my sprint to finish up school for Christmas break. Oh boy this is so much fun! :-D HA! Riiiiight....I am about ready to explode with the load I have to get done. But, I have a plan worked out and come heck or high water, I'm going through with it!

SNOW!! :-D
IT SNOWED OUTSIDE!!! :-D :-D The only bad part is that I'll have to take the pooch out. -_- But, I would have had to do that anyway, so it doesn't make much of a difference. :P I just love the first snowfall. Then, by the end of January I'm like "Ok, snow, time to go bye-bye!" The worst part is having to drive in it. Hopefully dad will take pity on me and drive today. :P
I am quite happy on the fact that not only did it snow, but my sister is leaving to go back to college today. w007! I'll have my bed back to myself, the mirror back to myself, the closet back to myself....just the whole room back to myself! Yay! But then, she comes back in 3 wks. X_X And I have to have some space for her...talk about double X_X X_X. I'm just kidding. I like having my sister around.
Ok, I don't have anything else left for now...I might post again tonight, depending on how many interesting things happen to me today. :P

My day today
I woke up around 7, mosied on out of the house around 8ish, and proceeded to shop for the majority of the day! :-D I got some good deals on 2 pairs of jeans and some beads. I also got one gift for one friend. I can luckily get the rest of the gifts here in town. This Christmas will be....interesting to say the least. ;-)
I picked up a new CD at Target today. The "Twilight" soundtrack is one heck of an amazing CD. Ya know how on some movies it is the music that just totally completes the movie? For Twilight, this soundtrack took the movie onto a whole new level of awesomeness. I mean, if the soundtrack stunk, the movie would still most likely rock, but this soundtrack has hardish rock, classical music, pop, a bit of what could be classified as old country, and everything in between 'cept opera. All in all, for those who have already seen the movie(which I highly recommend) and for those who haven't, this CD would definitely be a good addition to any collection.

I picked up a new CD at Target today. The "Twilight" soundtrack is one heck of an amazing CD. Ya know how on some movies it is the music that just totally completes the movie? For Twilight, this soundtrack took the movie onto a whole new level of awesomeness. I mean, if the soundtrack stunk, the movie would still most likely rock, but this soundtrack has hardish rock, classical music, pop, a bit of what could be classified as old country, and everything in between 'cept opera. All in all, for those who have already seen the movie(which I highly recommend) and for those who haven't, this CD would definitely be a good addition to any collection.
Laterz!

Classical music
First, I would like to apologize for not posting a while. Life in general got away from me, and I am now just starting to get it back...just in time for Christmas craziness. X_X But, here's a lil thing about something my parents got for me.
I don't believe I ever posted about my favorite bday gift from my parents. For my bday, my parents bought me a 4 disc collection of piano classics. All the greats, from Tchaikovsky to Liszt, Beethoven to Rachmaninoff, right on down to the always popular Chopin. The shortest CD is, I think, 60 min long. And there are 4 of them!! Disc 1 is eight tracks of Beethoven. Disc 2 has Chopin, Grieg, and one track of Liszt. Disc 3 is Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Disc 4 is Tchaikovsky, Schumann, and more Tchaikovsky. Oh, wonderful amazing piece of auditorial gorgeousness!! Each one also fits a mood. Disc 1 is lullaby like, with the notes gently soaring from one to the other. This one is great if your mind is having trouble slowing down for sleep. Disc 2 is still gentle, but has enough of a prominent beat to keep you awake. I use this one to help relax me when I'm high-strung but I can't go to sleep. Discs 3 and 4 are classical music at it's most passionate. These two are my favorites. Each composition just sets a fire in me that I can't explain. Every CD is different, but I absolutely love every single one of them. :-D
So, there's my lil contribution to the wide world of blogging. Laterz!

A while ago I heard someone say "The people that we are more prone to hurting are those that we love the most". For some reason, that sentence has been going on and on in my head. A friend of mine has been going through some mental problems, and my friend has told me a little bit of what is going on. My friend hasn't told me everything, mind you, but some things. I guess what I'm trying to say is, why do we always open ourselves up to those that we love, even though we know that when we open ourselves up, we are also possibly hurting those that we love? I'm thinking that this pertains to something that my friend once said to me "You know how to send the messages you want sent and also how to not send the messages that you don't want sent." If this statement is so true, as she adamantly proclaims, then why on earth do I feel like I'm lying to those closest to me? I feel like every day that I spend, I'm wearing a mask. I wake up, put it on, go to bed, and take it off. Whenever it comes off, I feel the depression, anger, fear, all the feelings besides happiness that I refuse to acknowledge during the day. It seems that I just exude happiness, never letting my anger show, never letting my sadness show, also hiding any feeling besides joy. It also seems to be just me. I talk to my friends, and they don't seem to have a problem showing others when they're angry, sad, depressed, etc. This might also be why my friend said that I know how to read people's feelings. The reason must be that I can recognize all the feelings that I refuse to show others inside the other people.
Ok, my philosophical rant is over. If anyone can make hide or tail of that, congrats! You are one of the few and far between that can actually read my 8-lane mind. :P

4-H
My next priority is 4-H.
4-H is something that has been a part of me ever since I moved to Illinois. My sister was involved in it, and because I saw how much fun she was having, I wanted to join. Ever since then, I've been hooked. Last year, I joined both the Jr. Leaders and the Regional Youth Leadership Team.
The Jr. Leaders is a club that plans activities for both Moultrie county and Douglas county. I and the rest of the Leaders have planned and helped with parties, programs, and the county level fair. This has helped me tremendously throughout the past year, teaching me how to respect others and to help those younger than myself to achieve the goals that they set. I also am the vice-president of the Jr. Leaders.
Regional Youth Leadership has done the same, only at a higher level. The RYLT plans activities for the entire region. I learned how GPS works, how to get shy 4-Hers involved in activities, and many other things. I had a lot of fun on it my first year, and I plan to have a lot of fun on my second.
In my own club, I have gained friends and also an amount of respect for myself. I am the secretary for my club for the 3rd or 4th yr. This office has taught me responsibility and how to organize information as it is verbally given to me. Also, the projects that I have done have taught me quite a bit. So, in general, 4-H is something that has helped and will help me in my future, so it will stay around for as long as possible.

List of Priorities?
I have just come to the realization that my list of priorities might need some reworking. Right now the list goes as follows:
1. School
2. Future job
3. Music
4. 4-H
5. Co-op
Because of the fact that it needs some tweaks here and there, over the next few days I will devote a bit of time to each priority, giving why it's a priority and why it might need to be moved down, up, or off my list. I will start from the bottom and work my way up.
Co-op...this has been an important, though momentary, priority for me because to me, co-op means friends. I know that I would not have the great group of friends that I have now if I wasn't in co-op. I also wouldn't be playing guitar, nor would I be learning how to write a good SAT essay. I also would never have had the outlet that I need for my natural dramatic tendencies. ;-) Yes, co-op has served an important part in my life, but I am now ready to move on.
When I firsted started co-op, I was looking for friends and people my age who understood all the little annoyances of being homeschooled. I found that and I am praying that I will never lose those people. Now, however, I am seeing that my time in co-op is done. The majority of the classes are for kids, not young adults. I see the end of co-op, and even though I am sad about leaving it, the majority of me is looking forward to it. I am grateful for this experience, but I am ready to move on to the next step in my life: college. I am not thinking "I wonder what I'm gonna do in co-op this Friday." I'm thinking "How on earth will I pay for college?" "When should I start working?" "How much does this college cost?" "What can I get done in hs school to make college easier?" "How much can I take at my community college so that university will be easier?" So, though co-op has been wonderful, I know, understand, and am ready accept that co-op will soon be over for me.
Later!

Most Awesomest Weekend Ever!
Yah, I know awesomest isn't a word, but I'm so tired I don't give a darn. :P I am now running on 3.5 hrs of sleep, babay! Oh! YAH! :-D
Warning: The rest of this post may be riddled with unexplained craziness. Because of this, proceed with caution.
Saturday morning...wasn't too bad. I was dead tired from having to stay up late because the dog I was sitting had a sick stomach and I did NOT want to have to clean up a mess in the morning. I rolled outta bed 'round 8:15, managed to give the dog all the meds it needs in the morning, get it fed, and get it outside without hurting myself or the dog. Morning, so far, was good. I walked across the street to home, ate breakfast, and then cleaned my two birds' cages, my room, mom and dad's room, and the living room in little over an hour. Did I mention I was in my pjs still? So, once I got done cleaning up my parts of the house, I went back over to the house I had been living in for the past week, and started to clean that up. And yes, I did clean myself up before I started cleaning up the house. :P So, in 2 hrs, I had cleaned the bathroom, the guest room that I had been using, the living room, the kitchen, and the computer room. That was my Saturday morning...moving onto Saturday afternoon.
So, I fed the dog, took her out, made sure she had fresh water, and then went back home. Oh, I also had moved myself out of the house and back into my room in the above mentioned 2 hrs. I then gulped down a lunch(example of a REAL lunch: sandwich, fruit, milk. example of a FAKE lunch: nothin'. Just had to clear that up.) and walked out the door to start building the float for our YG. That was an xp to say the least. Let's just say, paint and I got to know each other well...*caresses poor Old Faithful that got spattered with paint* That took, instead of 3 hrs, 2 and a half. We were proud of ourselves, considering the fact that it was our first float. Oh and I mentioned that I was gonna be an angel in the float...well, since there was no Mary, I got reassigned. Oh well, the guy who plays Joseph ain't too bad....I guess. :P So, we got done with that, I went back home, changed into my church clothes, ran to church(don't ask), and then was left standing in the back for the opening prayers AND the first reading because SOMEBODY got LOST. Oh, to make matters worse, I was asked by my priest(before Mass started) if I was waiting for a young man when he saw me waiting in the back. I swear that my priest is trying to become a matchmaker. -_- So, once my friend(female friend) arrived, she didn't even notice me! I was wavin' at her and she didn't even bat an eye! *mutters dark things* Well, Mass then went on w/out a hitch. We then went back to the neighbors', fed the dog, gave meds, etc., then went back home for dinner and stayed there for the rest of the night. That night was quite enjoyable...though I must say that I don't remember a lick of what was talked about that night. Because of that, dear friend that spent the night, please forgive me if I repeat questions that I have already asked. :P
Now, Sunday....didn't do much 'cept watch a movie, look at the house that my family is working on, and....just veg out. :-D
*looks back over post* Wowza, I got a long one. Well, I haven't posted in a while, so I'm entitled.

Musik
I'm listening to a tidbit of Red's new album, and so far I'm lovin' it. I love the combo of orchestra and hard rock that Red gives. Adds a nice touch to both genres of music. And then the screamin' adds another nice touch as well. ;-)
Ok, my day yesterday had started out bad, but then ended on a high note. I got a funny ecard from a friend's sis, an email from one friend, and then two happy birthday IMs. Life was and so far is good. :-D
Ok, that's all for now. Laterz!

The 16th birthday party....the year that every teen looks forward to. Being able to finally get their license. Well, that's the majority of teens. For the minority, 16 is dreaded BECAUSE of the license. Everyone asks the question, "Well, are ya gonna get your license?" The majority say, "Yup, this (fill in a day of the week)!" Then, there's me. The question above is the most dreaded question known to me. The embarrassing part isn't in replying with "No, I'm not getting it for a month after my birthday." It's the "why?" that is hard to bear. It is not bad to say "Oh, I started driver's ed late." The questioner accepts this answer and will generally show pity for the poor late license receiver. IF, however, the answer is "I have made 3 mistakes and because of that my mom doesn't want me on the road." then the ground might as well open up and swallow the driver who made the 3 mistakes. Oh, why do I have to make such mistakes??
Ok, moving on...I got some money from my grandparents, and then on Thursday mom is going to go shopping for my gifts. She didn't want to make a 45 min trip 3 times in one week, and since my lil party will be here on Saturday, it's ok.
I've done my ranting, so I shall leave. Cheers!

Youth Group!!
I am LOVING my youth group!! We had a meeting this morning and we are planning on doing so much this year! A lock-in, a float for the Christmas parade, work camps, volunteering at a soup kitchen, doing a bowling party, going to the March for Life...this is awesome!!
The most important event(atm) of all those is the Christmas parade. We are planning on doing a live nativity scene. I get to be angel. :-D Yes, this was my own choice. I figured it would be easier to layer clothes on under a plain white sheet than two pieces of fabric. We start working on the float next Saturday and will work on it for three consecutive Saturdays. This will be great! :-D
A lock-in will hopefully be done soon. We'll probably end up at the local middle school and just bring air mattresses, sleeping bags, music, games, and food. Did I mention how much I love my youth group?? Our group leader was also thinking of doing something called Cardboard City. Cardboard City is where one sleeps in a cardboard box to see what it would be like to be homeless. Most of us are interested in doing that. So, this year is gonna be totally sweet! :-D

*sighs with contentment*
Serious post time....:P
First few hours alone at my neighbor's house. Not bad. The only problem might be doing the insulin shot later tonight, but I'm sure that it'll go fine. So long as I get the needle under Tiffy's skin. Yesterday I did my last practice with my neighbor there and I didn't get the needle under the skin so all the insulin just got on her fur. X_X Second time around though, I got it.
That's all for now....I might post later tonight...depends on bored I am. :P

School Rant
School....I have absolutely no problem doing assignments, taking the tests, etc., but when it actually comes down to sending stuff in for school, I freak. I don't understand it. I do what the lessons plans tell me, I follow the assignment instructions, I study for the tests, I put in what I feel is the right answer for the tests and yet I can't hit that little button that says either "Upload" or "Send in for grading." Frustrating, people, frustrating!!
I do have some good news to share. I got through last night without taking cold meds. w007! I am feeling better, not coughing as much, and my nose isn't completely stopped up. Life is getting better, folks, a lot better.
Speaking of life getting better, I'll be dogsitting and housesitting next week. :-D The dog I'm watching is an absolutely adorable Maltese who, unfortunately, is blind, deaf, and diabetic. Boy, this'll be fun! But, she's a sweet little dog, and she likes me, so it shouldn't be too bad.
I would also like to mention that I will most likely not be posting much starting Saturday. My piano teacher has a practicing contest every year, and since next week I will have a real piano to practice on whenever I want, I will most likely spend as much time as humanly possible practicing on it. Also, I will be able to fully devote myself to practicing guitar as well. So, if I'm absent the majority of the time, that's why. I will pop in occasionally just to let ya'll know that I'm alive. ;-)
Cheerio!

I'm frustrated tonight. I have a poem inside my head, but I can't get the right words for the feeling that I want. Utterly annoying! Hopefully, later tonight I'll be able to get it out.
I am still sick. I've been not feeling well since last Tuesday, finally had the cold break on...Friday night, and have been forcing myself to get through each day ever since. Thank heavens for the person who invented drugs for colds. I can sleep at night, and then deal with the hacking coughs throughout the day. Why me??
Short post, I know, but I need to rest and being in a cold basment isn't gonna help in getting rid of this cold. So, I'll talk to ya'll later!

This is a belated response, I'll admit, but a friend of mine asked the question "What makes one person normal and another person not normal?" I have spent the past few days mulling over that question. I mean, what DOES make someone "normal"? Is it how they dress? How they act? The people they talk to? I will attempt to answer this question in this post....attempt.
My personal thought is that whatever the majority agrees on constitutes what is normal. If the majority of people believe that one should date instead of court, then courting is considered "weird". If the majority of people don't write their own book, make a movie out of said book, wrangle their friends into said movie, and then publish said book before they are even an adult, then to do so would be thought of as "not normal". Hopefully my friend who asked the question "What is normal?" will find this (somewhat) thought-provoking. ;-)

Outline for this post....1. layout/template 2. being sick 3. Friends -_-
Starting off with the first one...I am not liking the three dots that are at the top of the posting area. They don't fit with the color scheme that I have. So, back to the template board.
Next, being sick. I, quite frankly, hate being sick. Throat is all scratchy, sinuses are clogged, eyes hurt, head hurts, everything hurts. X_X Speaking of everything hurting, that brings me to part three of this post...FRIENDS.
Ok, don't get me wrong here. I love my friends. They are awesome. However(ya'll knew this was comin'), there are times when I seriously want to just...well...go watch The Incredible Hulk. That should give you an idea of what I'm trying to say. :P One friend(you know who you are) particularly enjoys pairing me up with another friend. Please understand that yes, I do enjoy hanging out with the guy but....well, here's a sample of what married life(with kids) would be like for us:
Billy(Jr's friend): Hey Jr! Could I come over?
Jr: Hi Billy! Weeell....I don't know.
Billy: Whaddya mean you don't know?
Jr: Well, yah see....mom's chasin' dad around with a butcher knife.
Billy: Why's she doin' that?
Jr: I dunno...hold on a min...MOM! WHY ARE YOU CHASIN' DAD AROUND WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE?
Me: JR, YOUR FATHER AND I ARE JUST HAVING A LITTLE DISAGREEMENT, SO IF YOU COULD KINDLY STOP INTERRUPTING US WE WILL BE DONE IN A MINUTE!

Starting off with the first one...I am not liking the three dots that are at the top of the posting area. They don't fit with the color scheme that I have. So, back to the template board.
Next, being sick. I, quite frankly, hate being sick. Throat is all scratchy, sinuses are clogged, eyes hurt, head hurts, everything hurts. X_X Speaking of everything hurting, that brings me to part three of this post...FRIENDS.
Ok, don't get me wrong here. I love my friends. They are awesome. However(ya'll knew this was comin'), there are times when I seriously want to just...well...go watch The Incredible Hulk. That should give you an idea of what I'm trying to say. :P One friend(you know who you are) particularly enjoys pairing me up with another friend. Please understand that yes, I do enjoy hanging out with the guy but....well, here's a sample of what married life(with kids) would be like for us:
Billy(Jr's friend): Hey Jr! Could I come over?
Jr: Hi Billy! Weeell....I don't know.
Billy: Whaddya mean you don't know?
Jr: Well, yah see....mom's chasin' dad around with a butcher knife.
Billy: Why's she doin' that?
Jr: I dunno...hold on a min...MOM! WHY ARE YOU CHASIN' DAD AROUND WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE?
Me: JR, YOUR FATHER AND I ARE JUST HAVING A LITTLE DISAGREEMENT, SO IF YOU COULD KINDLY STOP INTERRUPTING US WE WILL BE DONE IN A MINUTE!
Jr: Did ya get that?
Billy: Yah...you know what? I think it's better if I just stay home tonight.
Jr: Yah, I agree. Bye!
Billy: Bye!
