Shark Jumping
I was originally going to write a rant about traveling, but I made the mistake of letting one of my family members read it--out loud. I don't know if it is the same for everyone's family members, but when my family members read something I wrote out loud they make it sound like it sucks. I remember giving something to my father that I wrote for school when I was twelve, and he made it sound like it was written by a seven year old who was making a pathetic attempt to sound enthusiastic which might be the reason why I try to avoid showing enthusiasm any more, so in conclusion, letting a family member read something out loud, which you wrote can mentally scar you for life(or at least that's the way it is with me). Anyway, I gave it to my sister, and even though it was supposed to be funny, she read it like she was reading the obituaries or being interviewed about her parents being brutally murdered. You get the idea(and if you don't, the idea was that she sounded like she was going to burst into tears). Don't get me wrong. She had good intentions. She even added onto it and at first I wasn't discouraged, but over time, I got too discouraged to put the rant on the internet, even though it would be easy because I could have just copied it off the piece of paper I wrote it on and spent three days writing it. I don't mean to jump the shark by writting about current shite and my life, but its not like there was a shark to jump(I suck at wordplay). What I mean by that is, if you haven't noticed, this blog is not something extremely popular(or at least not at the moment) therefore, I have no fans, so they can't complain about it which is both a blessing and a curse. Anyway, to prove this, I'd like to point out that my sister's my space account has almost as many as my profile here and does she offer a joke or an opinion. The answer is NO. In fact she just chats on the website with her friends which goes sort of like this:
luckyst@r666: Hi :)
doggy**: Mr. O' Toole thros coctail partys
luckyst@r666: LOL
doggy**: Haha
luckyst@r666: Hehe
Repeat
My aunts(note that she is quite young) profile at a forum thing called Devauday(I'm not sutre how to spell it) which means hot German guy has tens of thousands of profile views. And what they talk about goes like this:
Jorgenschitzel: Should I wax my chest?
Leila: You'll still look manly if you have (pompous French word for wide shoulders)
Its better than my sister, but my aunt has tens of thousands of profile views to balance this, so it keeps me pissed off. I'm sorry if it annoys anyone that I'm changing the topic, but I haven't been posting much because its autumn so I have to get back to school. I have a funny, ironic story about school(I appoligize once again for being current and writing about my personal life)
I was at school and at the start of the school year, the teacher asked everyone what their name and to tell them something about themselves. The problem was that there was going to be a test on this, but alone this wouldn't be a problem. I mean a test on names and that sort of thing should be easy right especially if your taking notes right? WRONG!!
Note that part was supposed to be loud enough to scare you in case one of your family members or something is reading this to you.
Anyway this was because everyone in class was(or at least acted and looked like) white Americans. Anyway because they were all basically white americans, they all looked the same, had the same names, and for all I was concerned, had the same interests and hobbies and whatnot. It wasn't just because they were white Americans, that doesn't automatically make all their names and likes and dislikes similar. You probably get the idea. So anyway, when the test came, I just said to myself "This guy's name is probably Bill and because he's wearing a football jersey, he like Chinese food."(surprisingly, the thing that he said about himself was that he liked football). So anyway I got a higher number than I thought right. In fact, the biggest reason I did badly was because I didn't do a lot of the questions because it takes a long time to come up with a fake name and like or dislike. I think I might have gotten some of the ones I guessed right because they were remotely close and the the teacher didn't want to give me a grade that was too low. Anyway what happened after this was really ironic (but first to understand this, you need to understand that these people seemed exactly the same to me):
this was a class where the students gave speeches and they got to choose a quote to write a speech on and there was one subject that the quotes of quite a few(I might be exagerrating a bit but, it was a class of about 20 people and at least two did, not including myself if that doesn't seem like a lot, ignore this) students dealt with:
Individuality
However sadly, there are two other notes that ruin it a bit but I will say anyway because I'm honest unlike SOME people. First of all, I didn't take notes and second of all, I was sick after the first day until the day of the test. I find it amusing that if it wasn't for those few annoying bits of information, the story would be true, ironic, and funny. So I'm coloring this shite white.I just realized that waht I just wrote made me sound like a fecking wizard.
And remember; enjoy this post, it may be the last.
