Inventing My Own Assignment

I am a creating my own blogging assignment because I do not believe that my technology mirrors my moods in any way. I have never really noticed this. So i have decided that I will blog about something much more interesting: myself. I will tell you 62 things about myself (the number of Sara's choice). I think it will be pretty interesting to see if I can find 62 things to write. SO here goes:

1. I enjoy making lists more than the average person. I could list about anything and everything.
2. What I am most excited for about Grad is being done and OUT of high school. I can't think of a lot that I will miss.
3. Some of the people I went to kindergarten with, I am grading with. Abbotsford is such a hick town.
4. I don't actually think Abbotsford is that bad, it's jsut not as nice as say, Vancouver, or any other big city.
5. I have about as many journals as I do pairs of shoes. (I have a lot of shoes)
6. I probably have some very mild form of OCD. I have to have certain pens to write with, and when people steal them, I become quite distressed. How awful to write with a regular ballpoint pen?!
7. I amvery picky. About pens, keyboards, food. My preferences are ususally very specific.
8. I'm fairly certain no one will read all of this.
9. If no one reads this to completion. I won't be offended. You can stop right now if you so desire.
10. I regret choosing to be part of layout for the Anthology, the amount of work it entails is daunting.
11. I love doing class projects, or other projects. Just projects in general. However I need to be in control of it, so I prefer to work alone.
12. I never learned to type properly. I think it may have been the metronome that put me off. I have my own fancy way of typing now, and its inaccurate about 30% of the time. Oh well.
13. Twelve is my favorite number. I have no explanation for this.
14. I feel pathetic when I worry about what to wear. For the grad ceremonies tomorrow, I haven't a clue what to wear. Though everyone I talk to is so apathetic toward the subject and I wonder if they just appear that way to portray that they are not shallow in some way.
15. I believe that it is impossible to not judge someone. That is what we do. I do however believe that it is possible to avoid acting on the judgment, or letting it get in the way.
16. I am slightly upset that Sara said 62. Why not 16? This would be a perfect stop.
17. I fear that I am going to get fired. There are so many days I have to book off for grad stuff and university registration etc. that they might think I'm more of a nuisance than I'm worth :(.
18. I will be eighteen on June 21!!!!! Its not actually that exciting.
19. If I could drive any sort of vehicle, it would be an SUV type deal. But an environmentally friendly one, if that exists.
20. I worked overtime last night, it was my first shift. Go me!
21. 21 is almost like my favorite number, but backwards.
22. I find my naturally curly hair very annoying most of them time. Sometimes I like it though.
23. The bell is going. This list will continue later.
24. I hate the song "This is Why I'm Hot". He's not hot. GO away.
25. I intend to complete this list, but in chunks. It will be an epic series!

Meat Loaf: Mysterious Meat, and Artist

This is the creepiest thing that has happened to me in quite a while. Some time ago, (perhaps when I was thirteen or so) I had a song stuck in my head. I had no idea what the song was, none of the words or anything, only the tune. I am sure that until this day I have never consciously or willingly listened to this song. I have recently discovered it was a Meat Loaf song, which I never would have deliberately subjected my ears to, as he is definitely not my favorite artist.

Well recently I found a song by Meat Loaf that I actually enjoyed. I went to download it (legally of course ;) ) and ended up downloading a bunch of other songs, purely out of curiosity. Who knows? Where theres one decent song, there may be many. So when my downloads were done their thing, I listened to them and found quite frankly, not a lot. Then I clicked on "It's all coming back to me now" to play it. This was the song that mysteriously became lodged in my brain years ago. How bizarre! How bizarre that I even remember it. I found it somewhat ironic that the title was "It's all coming back to me".

What I would like most to know is how I get a song I've never really heard before stuck in my head. The brain is a crazy organ, and I wish they'd figure out how it works sooner, I really wnat to know.

Blogging With No Topic

Let loose in writing class left only with a blog and left without a topic! This is absurd. It is hard enough to write on a topic, but when left to my own devices, how am I supposed to come up with anything?! Absolutely absurd. I suppose one could discuss the goings on of our own minds, however, do you really want to hear my University debate? Or about how excited I am for the upcoming long weekend? Well maybe, but my private plans are not to be exposed on the internet! Perhaps I could share my thoughts on Grad, as it is coming up soonish and I havn't had much to say about it so far.

Well, I guess I havn't had much to say about it lately because I am a little disenchanted with it all. I was under the impression there would be more excitement, more suspense. Who's going with who? Who's wearing what? Where should I get my hair, nails and make-up done?! I have indeed wondered these things, however more casually as if they were ordinary thoughts. I am almost embarrassed that at one time I was ever wishing to become so enthralled in these topics. They seem so silly and a waste of time to bother with. I have never been into the drama scene and I don't know why prom rolling around would make me instantly thrust myself into it. I suppose what I am trying to say is: don't get your crinolines in a knot! Relax and enjoy prom for what it is; a chance to say good-bye to your fellow grads, eat nice (hopefully) food and dance.

The End


(Look I finished an assignment in class!! =D)

It Really Just Annoys Me

Alright, this is just a pet peeve of mine. I have to say first of all I am absolutely not anti- Canucks or anything (though I'm not exactly fan, even of Hockey at all), I just find those window flag attachments REALLY irritating. You must have seen them by now, they're sticking out of every other vehicle's window cruising down the street.

I understand the appeal of maybe one flag. It shows the driver's enthusiasm, and they are only up around play off season. Not so annoying. I will be honest and say that I'm not entirely sure what it is that annoys me about them, but I do know that as the number of flags multiply, my road rage multiplies.

All I can focus on when I'm looking in the rear view down South Fraser Way is the giant manly trucks with bunny ears! It looks absolutely ridiculous! I'm not sure why the owners of these gas guzzlers feel the need to display the flags in this fashion. 1) They can't actually bee seen when they're whipping in the wind and 2) like I said before, it makes the car look like it has bunny ears.

Now I have seen numerous times a vehicle with more than two of these things. It gets a little ridiculous after four because, let's face it, you're not a bloody parade float driving around. Really, think about dropping your kids off for school with THAT all over your vehicle. They'll be bullied for sure, especially if their peers are Duck fans.

Be less annoying. Get a bumper sticker! Or, because I have failed to make a convincing argument (or you love bunnies), don't.
