Bad boys and Bad days

So today I met a new person, who is not particularly the kind of person I would usually associate myself with. As everyone knows, schools have labels for every kid. The popular one, the geeky one, the player, etc. And today I have the pleasure to bump into the supposed "bad ass". Totally not impressed if you ask me. So he wears a leather jacket, big deal! Does that mean that if 5 year old girl wears a leather jacket, that immediately means she punches kids and steals their lunch money? Ya, I think not.

The way it happened was that I was walking to chemistry (worst class... ever) and all of the sudden I ram into something and fall flat on my butt... fun? no.. embarrassing? hell yes. Not only did all of my books fall, but so did all my papers. The rude person I happened to walk into wasn't even kind enough to help with at least ONE paper.. ONE! like really? Are you going to die because you bent down to pick up a few flimsy papers.
After the little scenario happened his response to me was a "will you watch where you're going?!" and a storm off.
Great guy, really, I like him...
Days like these make me tired

Realizations

So I've realized that when I blog, I sound all depressed and sad and serious. But in truth I'm really not like that, I do like to have fun, I mean sure I'm independent and I like to be alone, but when I'm with friends, I know how to have a good time.

The thing is that it's hard to convey a personality over text. There are some people who know how to do it, and it's really entertaining to read, but I guess I have some trouble with that, especially since this is the first time I've ever blogged.
So an update on life, lets see, what's new here? I mean my birthday is coming up, so that means I will be a legal adult, and I will be able to join the army and buy cigarettes without an issue, not that I plan on doing either of those things.
Don't you think it's weird that kids are allowed to go off to war to kill people at age 18, but aren't allowed to drink legally until they're 21? Interesting situation, my cousin did a position paper on it, but that's not really the point.
So I know this is going to sound weird but I have recently become interested in The Vampire Diaries, I like it, my friend from back home told me about it and said that I should give it a try. It's actually a pretty good show, a lot of people think that it's a rip off of twilight, and although I haven't read the books of either twilight or vamp diaries, so I can't really compare them.
Well that's the new take on my life.

Impressions, Internet, and Issues

So hi, I realize that I haven't posted anything since tuesday, and that was because my internet has been acting really weird, and I haven't been able to sign on anywhere.

Anyway, things have been really awkward lately, I mean like I'm not sure thats the word to use but I thought that I would've been a little used to everything by now but it's not and I just don't know why. I have friends, things are becoming a little normal, but I still feel like there's something missing and I'm not sure what it is.
I guess it's just that things aren't the same and it's going to be hard to adjust. Especially with new people to meet.
Thats a thing I've been wanting to talk about. Impressions, like if you think about it, everybody is constantly making an impression on somebody, even on old friends, because each thing you do gives them a new view of you, and it really sucks when you're the new girl because it really affects what they people think, especially when you move in the middle of the year.
Impressions on teachers is what really has me worried, because for starters, they don't care that I'm knew or that I already learned this topic of if ive never heard of another, they expect me to catch up by myself, and honestly that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's such a stupid issue that I could live without. But theres nothing I can do about it...

Well I got to go and do the pile of homework I have for tomorrow... wish me luck

Recommendations

Hey so today was calm at school, mostly all the teachers had meetings throughout the day so all we did in a lot of the classes was watch movies that were related to the class.

Today my friend Hayley, (the one I mentioned in recent posts) told me about this site called Quizilla and she said that I would like it because its like this site where people just write stories about anything and everything. So today after school I checked it out and I have to so, I'm hooked. It's actually really cool, I mean a lot of the stories aren't my type, but there are others that are really cool. So I guess what I'm saying is check it out if you like to read, there's also poetry and quizzes and a bunch of other things to do that will keep you entertained for an hour or two. Anyway I wanted to say more about Alice in Wonderland but I kind of lost my train of thought... so I guess when it comes back to me i'll say it, but W do want to say that i have started briar rose and I'm in love! It's soo good! Idk if I mentioned that I started it already, but ya. So thats all
I hope everyone is having a good week!

Week Two

Hey there, this weekend pasted by in a blur, I was at my dads apartment and well the internet still isn't set up there so I couldn't post anything, and then today I had school. School is settling down, I have my little group now, which I'm thankful for and everything is unpacked at home, my room finally looks alright and I wanted to post a picture, but then I thought it to be a little weird to post a picture of your room online so I decided against it.

So like I said in the post from friday, I wanted to start talking about the books I'm reading, and then one I just finished is Alice in Wonderland. The book is a lot of fun, and I really like the way that Lewis Carroll made up so many words. I know a lot of people who read the book and are like "why don't I understand these words, I speak english I should know this!?" but its a good read. There are some articles that say that Alice in Wonderland is an opium induced novel, and to be truthful, I wouldn't be surprised I mean where else would you get all the ideas of a blue caterpillar, a rabbit in a waistcoat, the card soldiers and all the other stuff in his book. But even if it is true, that doesn't mean that it's not a good book, because it is and I recommend it to anyone who wants an adventure.
Well thats all for now, I have homework to do! post more soon!

Janie

P.S. for anyone doesn't know what opium is, it's a drug that is smoked and it puts you into a dream like state. just a fun fact

Quick!

Hi, I would just like to say that if you look to the right of my blog you will see the books I'm currently reading, so soon when I finish one or two I'm going to start talking about them, I mean they're really good and I really like Briar Rose, its like dark but still good at the same time.

I'll give more details soon
Well I gotta go!
Goodnight!

Funky

Today a weird package came in the mail.

It was addressed to me but it came from an address ive never heard of, it's sitting in my room right now.. right across from me. Im not really sure if i want to open it.

So, I'd like to get a point across, my mom and dad are not together, they are divorced but they didn't want to split up the family so no one ever moved out, my dad has an apartment where he stays for the weekends and sometimes lets my mom use it for her own reasons. It's really complicated and I don't get why they still do it, I mean Mel and I aren't 5 years old anymore, we can take the fact that our parents are divorced and that they both have a boyfriend/girlfriend.

But the thing is that its hard with them always arguing, they think that living together while being divorced doesn't split up the family, but it splits it up more, they argue over the smallest thing and they go at it for hours. I remember when I was a 6 and Mel was 4, she got so scared that they only way she calmed down was hiding under her bed.
I know that all parents argue, but it's ridiculous how mine fight, they yell and scream and when its really bad they throw things.
Now its gotten better, my dad learned that if he just pretends to agree with everything my mom will either get bored, or annoyed and leave him alone.
But on those rare occasions when it becomes a 'who's-voice-is-louder' match, I just take my car and drive somewhere for a while.
I'm not really sure why I decided to talk about this, I mean I guess I just wanted to get it out there, its out of the blue but it doesn't really matter, my parents wont see this and if they did, they wouldn't care.
Im not saying that my parents don't care about my sister or me, they're the most caring and awesome parents ever, when they're not together.

Anyway, this weekend I'm going to spend some time at my dads apartment and fix up my room there, and I might as well take poppy so she gets used to the place.
Well thats all for now, hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Janie
P.S. I know the title has nothing to do with this post, I was just in the mood.
