I have defeated twilight!

so two days ago i was at a used bookstore and picked up a copy of twilight, just to see what it was about. then that night when i got off at 10:30 i decided to start reading it, i finished it at 6:00am. I'm proud of myself, one more book to check off the reading list. However, now i have to add three because i actually enjoyed the book. I still don't know if I'm going to watch the movies ever, but at least now i will understand who people are when everyone starts talking about the new movie.



oh, and for Taylor's information, Bella is not shallow, stupid at times yes, but not shallow.

why you shouldn't go to class

ever...





unless there is a test.





1. class is a time to listen to the stupid blond girl in the second row tell everyone that Rosa parks freed the slaves through the underground railroad.



2. when you sit in class you spend at least 15 minutes staring at a clock that doesn't seem to move, then you realize our school is kinda janky and the clock is broken.



3. i have never found a practical use for finding the derivative of a trigonometric function, or the need to be able to talk with mixed company about how nationalism led America's irrational hatred of communism, even though we have never seen communism carried out as the idea says.



4. most classes will not let you eat.



5. teachers would be fairer in their grading if they didn't have to watch the smartest student sleeping through their lecture.

6. in the time you spend sitting through class you could wikipedia 2 articles and learn more useful information.

7. while completing school gives people an idea of your commitment to education, most jobs will give you the training you need (even doctors are led through all procedures a few times).

8. how many of the subjects you are taking actually interest you?

9. important conversations get interrupted when someone notices that their class started 10 minutes ago.

10. we are already paying for the class and the teacher to be there, why does it matter if we show up.

the toothfairy is a metaphor for welfare
welfare is socialism
socialism is a communist idea
therefore, by the transitive property, the toothfairy is a damn red commie.

also taylor watched 17 again and found it suprisingly good....

giraffes have black tounges

craig means peter in scottish

cinchillas have freakishly large ears.

felicia is wearing purple, which she does not do, i am confused

i will come back and blog in a little while, i can't think

hmm, a lot has been going on.

my one year anniversary with phillip just passed, that was fun.
the day ended driving one of phillips friend home who was drunk. lol

work has been very amusing, people keep yelling at me, many different reasons, too much drama, i just listen and laugh later.

oh, so i've totally decided that i love mini golf, awesome fun, i had a blast yesterday except when my ball went in the water and phillip went to fish it out.

i need...

to figure out why i am so hesitant to follow the path i have laid out for myself.

the only problem is i already know the answer and it isn't making my search for a new path any easier.

as it is, there are too many things that i don't want to say for fear of what they mean.

ugh, well, off to work, at least there i can try to sort through this with none of the affected people around.

Coming of Age

I got to thinking today, while i was texting taylor, and i think it is funny how they tell all high school students that this is the beginning of their lives. I mean average life expectancy is about 80 years old. That means that by the time a high school student graduates at the age of 18 about 1/4 of their life is over.

Does it really take a quarter of a persons life for them to get started? Sure, there are some things you are beginning, like getting a job, finding the "one", moving out of your parents house, but aren't most of a persons belief system set by this point. I don't just mean in a religious sence, but values, morals, some sence of what a person wants, or at least doesn't want, to do with their life should already be acheived.

Who was the person who decieded that all of this should count for nothing more than the building blocks of life?

Honestly, i feel that if we allow children to believe that they don't have to start their lives until after high school we are breeding future generations that will have no reason not to put that time off for an even later date, such as graduating college, or having children. Look at what we have come from, in earlier times, by the age of 18 you would already be married, have a profession, and kids hopefullyon the way. Understandably life expectancy can be used against me on this matter since it was also lower during those days, but i still feel that our generation has let the need for children to "grow up" slip by.

work ^_^

so today this lady came up to me at work, and she was like"i don't know why they keep saying you guys have great customer service, there is no customer service here."

first of all, if you are talking to someone who works there, you have customer service, maybe not good service, but service none-the-less.

then she was like, "there is stuff all over the floor, and there aren't any mirrors, and no one is around to help."

so i asked her if i could help her with anything, thinking that was what was wrong....

no, she says, "i don't need your help with anything, i just think it is ridiculous that your store keeps saying it has good customer service!"

please don't yell at me, i can't change anything.

and i tried telling her that i was sorry that she was having a bad experience, but that it was just because we didn't have as many people as we would like due to the economy.

then she goes on about how mad she was and that there aren't enough people working......




seriously, i just admitted we don't have enough people working, i tried to do my best, but i guess that wasn't good enough for this lady. well, i can't do everything.

people are funny when they go shopping.
