Shipped

If it wasn't obvious from the title, your favorite blogger, is being shipped. And usually people get shipped because of Somme obvious reasons, right? Nope. It's...
-not that I, a.) have a boyfriend
-or b.) have been kissed
-not to mention c.) ever gotten a love letter period, much less from this guy I'm being shipped with
- I don't d.) have a serious crush on him nor does he have a crush on me (although my friend seems to think so. Yeah. Whatever)
- not even e.) really good friends

The reason is none of the above. Instead,

Audio Media

I have even recently become addicted to a podcast called "Welcome To Night Vale". I find the fact that I can follow along a rare occurrence. Audio books, for example, are awful. I can never follow along. When I listen to them I have an unfulfilled itch for the familiar textured feel, the smell of pages bound in glue. Books are meant to be read. Not listened to. Personally, I think Audio Books are  used by lazy people or in the car when you should be listening to the radio. It's a bit biased of me, but I have ways. In my ways, the perfect time to listen to the radio is in the car. Not in your bedroom, not with friend or playing while you relax in your brand-new hottub, in the car. I hate the uncomftable silence of a car. It needs the background sound of a radio station, there's no way to get around that. Now, listening to an audio book while you read along is a bit different. I geuss I get that. But audio books usually have such a monotone, annoying voice that I really can't stand them.

Another popular form of audio media, as mention earlier, is the radio. Now, to me, the main purpose of the radio has always been for music. I have never really used it for news although everytime we're in the car, my mom sets it to the public radio (snore). Sometimes there are intresting articles but like audio books, I find it hard to follow along. In the mornings, last year I'd turn on my favorite pop radio station but it'd always be their annoying talk show that just gave me a headache. They were talkng all about the latest celeberity gossip when really, all I wanted was a few musical tunes to get dressed, eat my breakfast and brush my teeth to. Instead I had to listen to thier annoying voices yap about things that nobody really cares about. So eventually I just shut it off. I've learned my lesson on that one.

The next audio media I can think of is the podcast. I personally have no had a lot of experince wih podcasts. But, I'll admit, without doing my research, I used to think they were stupid, like most forms of audio media. The truth is, I've found a really delightful, enjoyable show called "Welcome To Night Vale" as I mentioned earlier. So, I have to eat my words on that one. I would do some podcast research and see all about it but once a start a series of something I have to listen, watch or read it in order to the end so I will have to wait t l I finish Night Vale to check out the others. However, I am very curious about what could possibly be out there.

In genera, I've never seen the use of audio media for there are very few audio learners out there and all the commercials are really annoying. However, I really like music and my favorite new podcasts so I will admit it is not completely useless. Instead, it is very useful, unless your are a pessimist like me who doesn't like to admit they were wrong. :P

Valentine's Day Bekah's List

I'd like to make it known that I am not a big fan of Valentines day. In fact I usually refuse to call it Valentines. Instead it is Valentimes. Yes I know it's silly. I do not care. I just like the m in there better. It just... Is. Anyways, for thoose who didn't know, the original "Valentines" can be dated back to a two week festive in roman times celebrating the goddess Venus (It's Aphrodite get it right you stupid Romans. I'm sorry, personal issues here). They would take a virgin cow and all the single men would take a strip of it's hide. Then, they proceeded to leave a Valentine or mark on the single woman they fancied. Yes, the original valentine was a mark of a virgin cows BLOOD. Ew.
Anyways, I have this quirky fun friend named Bekah. This year, Bekah wrote a few notes about why she doesn't like Valentines. Here it is:

1.) Valentines day is over rated. But...... I do like chocolate. Especially marked down chocolate on the 15th.  It's nice. Not as nice as a dozen roses, a giant teddy bear that love you, and a large heart shaped box of caramels and cremes from a cute boy...... But still nice. I guess.

2.) Roses are red, violets are blue. Cupid is stupid, and so are you.

3.) Single Awareness Day is a great example of putting a positive spin on things. Even if it still spells "SAD"....

4.) Fat Naked Flying Babies with Weapons are creepy anyways...

5.) Don't give children weapons they say.... Then they dedicate an entire day to a Naked Child with a mind altering Bow and Arrow.  

6.) In Japan, people who don't get anything on Valentines day get a free meal. I wish I lived in Japan.....

7.) Also in Japan, a girl is supposed to give to every guy in her life, and a month later the guys must give the girls chocolate three time the value if the original gift. Again, I want to be Japanese.

8.) Roses are red ( and white and pink and peach and yellow) and violets are blue (or...yuh know... Violet) and valentines day is great!(unless you are single, or allergic to chocolate)

9.) Love is just a dirty trick played on us to ensure the continuation of the species.

10.) Why don't we all get tickets at a Chinese theatre, and make sure to get odd numbered seats. The even couples would watch the movie alone!

11.)Table for one. Money to buy As much food as you want OR table for two, and sweating about the bill.

So there you have it. 11 reasons to dislike Valentines... Well technically I think #10 is just something evil to do but whatever.
She made this list of course, one block before her crush gave her a Valeo-gram asking her out...
The irony is not lost on me.
I always dress up for Valentines day because it's just an exuse to look nice :) but what I really wanted for valentines was a tub of Hershey's frosting... Mmm they way to my heart is through my stomach ;P I'm going to get fat eating to my heart's content some day. Hahaha. Anyways, hope you enjoyed my friend's Valentines list!

Long Time No See

Hey. So I guess I'm not really speaking to anyone of importance at this point. Haha. I haven't posted in so long there's no way that someone is still here checking on little old me. As usual I would like to start a new, although I've tried that many times. I guess I can try and fail again. Who knows.

So let's start with the updates.

Right. So now I'm a freshman! Yeah! School is a bit more fun now except it's stressing me out. I was part of the colorgaurd program, we made it to state as a second year band (first state year) So that's exciting. I even had a minor solo in the beginning. Now however, my only stress reliever was taken away on account low grades, even though I was one of the only ones not failing anything (parents choice) So that really sucks. But with colorgaurd gone from now, I'll need something to do with myself and perhaps restoring this dead website might just be it.

Ignore my other posts. Complete crap most of them. Your welcome to read them and laugh.

So my brother recently graduated from some therapy. (long story I won't delve into) Where as I, have been dragged into it and have not. (-.-) Because apparently I'm clinically depressed. Which also sucks.

Well that's about all the update I can come up with so I'll end this post till I find something more interesting to blab about.

Ever Wish You could dissapear?

Every Wish You could just dissapear from the world? I do right now. All i've heard all day is how i can't get my act together and do the simple things my parents ask me to. I"M SORRY THAT I"M A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A WELL OILED MACHINE! I AM FLAWED IT"S JUST A PART OF BEING A HUMAN BEING!!!! And sorry, i know some of these things are simple but i'm tired of hearing this same thing. And my friend got on to me today for being mean to her sister.... I WAS NOT MEAN i barely even TALK to her!!! I don't know what the heck i said! Apparently she's blocked me which i so don't get. And she got mad at me today and totally blew her top, she goes ":O Did i really just say all that?" `.`  I can't blame her sometimes but still... I'm just having a real bad day. And there are some days that i just think i shouldn't be living because every one just gets mad at me and just ug/ It seems like i'm always an annoyance to everyone.

What's your deepest fear?

Everybody is afraid of something, if your not afraid of anything then lucky you but even if you say that I doubt it. Common fears are usually spiders, snakes, the dentist, clowns, death, hights. Which some of them i don't get. I understand spiders, snakes, death and hights. But the dentist and clowns? Really? I mean, you just have to understand that it's just a person! That looks weird. And the dentist is really nobody to be scared of. I really don't understand that one. If your a little kid, yeah sure i get it. But you should grow out of that. If i was afraid of the dentist i would tell you why but i'm not so i can't. Death, i understand because there's so little known about it. Spiders are just... creepy so i get that and snakes. Plus all the fantasy about spiders and snakes just help that thought. Personaly, i'm not afraid of hights, it's getting there that's the problem. Like for a long time I was scared of the atic. Not because of the atic it's self, not because of how high it was, because of the ladder and getting up there. Once i'm up there, I'm fine, but getting there is the problem. Oh and i hate bridges some times, because I'm afraid they're going to collapse. But that's a minor fear that I can always talk my self out of and be fine. Here is a list of things i'm afraid of (not nessisarily in order)
1. Death- Is it painful to die? I mean of course it depends of the way i die which brings me to: I don't wanna die by burning... or drowning... or being murdered or bleeding to death....
2. Pain- I know this is ridduculus and laugh at me if you want to but yes, i'm afraid of pain. This is why i used to be afraid of shots and needles, which i've grown out of, i still don't like it but I'm okay with it now.
3. Spiders- This has a whole backstory to it involving a dream, but its not little harmless spiders i'm afraid of it's the black widow and the brown recluess because they are very deathly.
4. Snakes- i don't like them, i'm afraid of getting bitten and dieing. So basicly this comes with my fear of dieing i guess.
5. Getting shut in the elevator- Yes i know, ridduculus but I don't like elevators because i'm afraid of the cables snaping or getting shut in the door. It happens and i don't want my limbs snapped off and plus it sounds so painful, again i'm afraid of pain.

All of these are big fears of mine. I'm afraid of snakes, spiders and getting shut in the elevator because it enolves pain and maybe death. But you wanna know my deepest fear? The reason I'm afraid of dieing? It's because my deepest fears is waking up one day and realizing I've wasted my life. (pause for dramatic effect so you can let that sink in) I'm afraid of dieing before i do something meaningful in my life. Dieing before I effect change, do something, acomplish the impossible. My biggest fear is that I'm wasting the greatest gift of all: Life. And this isn't a joke, I really am afraid of this, I mean i look at my life now and I think "gosh I've wasted so many years!" And i don't want that to happen before it's to late. I mean, i look back and think "Life is short and years ago i was mad because i didn't get a toy? Or I fought with my brother about who got the last slice of piza?!?! Does it really MATTER?" And don't get on to me about being some old person because this is my deepest fear, it think this is a completely good and wise fear to have! I mean really! Did you ever stop to think about that? I didn't intill this year when i really started thinking about how other people have gone out and done some really amazing things and about how i've always wanted to do something like that and then I realize "Wow, that's my fear, dieing before i get something done, wasting my life away" And I think putting these thoughts on paper is a step in the right direction for me. Putting my thoughts on this blog, may one day inspire somebody, or even make people lisen. I think about who i am and realize: "I talk about these things because my biggest dream is to change the world" I think this fear, is the only fear that matters.

Poptropica Fashion Sense

I've noticed that alot of people don't have any fashion sense on poptropica and it drives me nuts, the outfits people show up in when they're in the common room! I mean really! If you look at my profile pic of my poptropican, you'll see that i carefully picked out my outfit and it actually matches. But sometimes... ug. And i'm so mad that they made the closet thing just for members I'm so steamed about that, i was really looking forward to having that feature. Grr. Before you know it poptropica will be a members only thing. It happens to almost every website and it sucks! I love to make different outfits on poptropica! It's one of the things that makes it so fun. Since you now can't do the closet I think i'll make my own paper type closet. By myself. Use the avatar studio thing to take pictures of each outfit and then save the picture, insert it to a powerpoint and label each part and where to get it weather store costume or player. To help with your poptropican fashion sense I'll put some of my tips:
1. When you start, don't worry entirely about matching, but think about what might be useful.
2. Start on the islands that don't have poptropicans such as: Big Nate, Great pumpkin,  Wimpy wonderland
3. Once you've completed those three you should have enough to buy the 3 costume saver in the store (don't forget to get all the free stuff that's there and check regularly for free costumes and specail effects)
4. Now that you've got the costume saver, go to Early poptropica, there are three people at mainstreet, pick and choose off of they're clothing using the customizer. To change what they're wearing, go to the left, and go back. once you've created a complete matching outfit, you're all set. You can save it in the costumizer. From Early poptropica you'll get a kind of casual school kid look.If your real serious about costumes you could actual document what the different things the random charecters can wear. (bout i doubt your really that serious about costumes you just wanna play the islands at this point) Do one island at a time and don't forget to check the advertisements for cool threads to.
5. When your really sick of your look, look around at the other charecters, go to the varirious common rooms or buy something at the store but realisticly the store costumes suck!!! What they need to do is start doing like buy a personalized costume FOR NON-MEMEBERS so that like you can buy a "template" for idk 50-25 credits and design your own costume to save and name that you can share with friends. I mean come on!!! There should be SOME thing for non members!!! How about buying your own space in the closet? I could put up with that...
Guess what i found out? THE COSTUME SAVER IS GONE that's right, they took it out grrr this sucks
