"Observations" I've Made

You know how it is. There's always something you see, and you think, "What the....?".....okay, maybe that's just me. But I'll show you some examples:

1. People don't wash their hands. I don't know if they're ashamed, scared, embarrassed, or confused. I don't see what the big deal is. You wash your hands so you can be clean and not get AIDS* or something. So I don't understand why people walk out of the bathroom, look at the sink kind of shyly, then just leave! You know that little thing that they do....come out of the bathroom stall, walk slowly, glance around to see if anyone notices that they aren't going to wash their hands, then leave. It's DISGUSTING.

2. If someone doesn't respond the way another person wants them too, the other person leaves. Okay that was kind of weird to read. Let's say person 1) Linus, is talking to person 2) Darren. Here's their conversation:
Linus: I just bought the new Justin Bieber CD! *squeals*
Darren: Uhhh....cool, bro?
Linus: Dude, you don't like Justin Bieber?
Darren: ....Nope.
Linus: Why not?
Darren: Sorry, I'm just not into that kind of music.
Linus: Oh. I'll talk to you later then. I have to go....home.
Darren: And listen to your CD, right? *laughs jokingly trying to make the mood lighter*
Linus: Yeah. Bye, then. *never texts back, calls, or looks at ever again*

Do you see my point now? People are really arrogant today. They think that if something is "all the rage" everyone likes it. That's actually not true, buddy boy. A lot of people like many different things.

3. People judge by shoes. I'm not joking at all. Although you may be laughing (I'm laughing too), it's so true. At my school, if people don't have Vans, cute sandals, or flats, you are spit upon. Well, technically not "spit upon" but you are looked down on. If you don't believe me (ask the dishes!), just look around where you are. Go to a public place, preferably by a teenager hangout. Walk past, and discreetly make eye contact. I'm telling you, these guys will look at your shoes and decide who you are. It's so silly. Or if you're at school, you just match up friends with shoes. If you see a couple making out, it's because of their shoes. Just look, and they'll both be wearing red Vans. Not even kidding.

4. People assume everyone's read, watched and is obsessed with Twilight. (Sorry if that sentence sounds weird. It's the start of school again and I'm already tired of writing.) I don't necessarily dislike these kind of people. I just feel bad they can't understand the truth: not everyone likes Twilight.

5. Surprisingly, a lot of people have never tasted Spam...or even know about it. For me, I was born and raised on that stuff. I still love it, too. It may be acraploadofmeatssmushedtogetherinacan, but it is quite tasty. I was texting my friend the other day, and she said she was on a diet. I was joking along and asking her what she could eat. Then I asked, "hav u evar eetn SPAM??? :))))" (I love making fun of people who actually text like this). Do you know what her answer was? "I've never eaten Spam before! Haha" (or something like that. I'm too lazy to check my phone). Exactly my point.

6. No one actually read books before Twilight came out. Seriously. My friend (I won't use her real name, so let's just call her....Kristen), Kristen never read. Ever. Every time I talked to her, I would be like, "Heyyy! How's it going? *yadayadaydadasdhsdgkhsdkjfnkeeptalking* So what books have you been reading lately?" Her response: "Hmm...I haven't actually read a book since I was 5. And that one was a picture book". *Frowns* Then this Twi*ight epidemic broke out, and people were scrambling all over the place to find a real vampire who could bite them and turn them into a vampire, so they could marry Ed*ard. *Facepalm* Just kidding. But it seemed that instead of a vampire, it was that ridiculous book that everyone wanted their hands on! I talked to Kristen (do you get my pun?) later, and asked her, "How's it going? Have you read anything else besides that picture book?". While I was laughing uncontrollably (more like choking and spitting on my own stupid segue (if I'm using that word right)), she said, "Yeah, I'm really into this Twi*ight book!". I stopped laughing then and a bit of me died right then**. Ever since then, I can't get into a conversation with anyone without them saying something about "that certain book"***. But in a way, I suppose it's good that more people are reading.

7. People don't realize how stupid they sound when they repeatedly swear. I'm not talking about the occasional cussing. I'm saying the...."What the ------ duuuude. I'm so stoned right now it's -------- ridiculous as ------ you know? Hah yeah! ----- right! -----!! What the ------- ------ ------- -------?! Your mom ---- ------- ---- hahhaa, right?"**** I actually heard someone say this exact thing when I was walking to class one day. Yeah. It was pretty crazy, I know. My favorite musician, Ben Folds, cusses all the time. I don't mind it because he's older...and famous....I guess. I don't know. He just can. Maybe I'm just making up excuses. But anyway, these kids are like, 17? And they're saying ridiculous crap that I don't want running through my already young adolescent mind. If I keep hearing this, I could start cussing too, you know. Go to raves and all that. Party it up with the drunktards. It's a GATEWAY to DRUGS!!!***** But no one wants that, do they? Plus, it's against school rules to use "foul language". I really couldn't care less when people occasionally say it, but I really don't care about some girl who called another girl *an obscure name.....hmmm* and she will kick *sldkfhsdsdlkgyo*. I don't care. All I want to do is finish class already so I can go home, but no. Now I have to deal with this too?

8. It's really not a big deal to burp. I just remembered this from a few nights ago, when my mom, my sister, and I were at Panda Express talking about this. For example, if someone burps in class, I think it's fine as long as they say like, "Excuse me" or "Ooops! Hahaha". But I HATE IT when people make a big hairy deal out of it, and say, "Oh. Excuse you!!" Jerks. Knock it off already. We don't need your idiotic comments here.

9. Orchestral music is awesome. Really really awesome. Or like, music that's a cappella, with a choir, or just by itself. Pretty dang amazing. Here's a few that are...fantastic:
Roxanne (Moulin Rouge soundtrack)
Lux Aeterna (Requiem for a Dream soundtrack)
Lullabye (Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth)
Before Cologne (Ben Folds - Way To Normal)
Smoke (Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth)
O Fortuna (Carl Orff)
Still -Reprise- (Ben Folds - Over the Hedge)
Steven's Last Night in Town (Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth)
Piano Fantasy (William Joseph - Within)
Kylie From Connecticut (Ben Folds - Way To Normal)

I think that's it for my rant of the day. Toodleooooo.





*I randomly insert various rare diseases so you can imagine the worst.
**Wow. I'm really sarcastic when I'm writing. If you heard me talk, you would probably get when I do that, but since this is writing, I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
***Every time I do " this ", use your imagination (or what's left of it) to pretend I'm speaking with air quotes.
****I just put random dashes everywhere. Don't worry. Bonus: If you want to, you can insert random words (not bad words, stupid) and go crazy with it. And if you really want, you can post what you redid as a comment. Or something. No one reads this anyway. So you can go wild. But not too wild. Because you still want to be responsible, yeah?
*****Yeah, I'm making fun of the people who repeat everything as, "It's a gateway drug!!!!"

I Don't Know Why....*

I haven't updated this blog in a month or so.
I changed the background to this gloomy, rainy mountain.
People are obsessed with 'less than 3' (<3....stupid hearts)
People still listen to Green Day.
I pull the shower curtain back every time I go to the bathroom, just to make sure there's no one hiding.
Ketchup goes on everything.
People yell in their car to the idiot driver in front of them.....
I hate animal movies. March of the Penguins, Eight Below, Marley and Me, etc.
I cried when I watched Gandalf dying in the Fellowship of the Ring.
Steve Jobs keeps making products.
People keep making fun of Justin Bieber. She's human too you know!
People don't rock out to Josh Groban more often. GENIUS.
My dogs are gay.
I can't accept the fact that Dumbledore died.
Spongebob can't pass his driver's test.
People keep eating McDonald's.
Girls at my school have pictures of Megan Fox on their binders. Not trying to be rude, but is she a role model to you or something? Yeah, she's pretty amazing, but there is no freaking reason to have her half naked body on your folder where everyone else can see it. You're not helping yourself, you know.
We have more homework than classwork. I understand 'applying the lesson at home', but there is no reason we have to slave over FOUR HOURS OF MATH HOMEWORK to 'apply' ourselves *facepalms*
The Dollar Store is so awesome.
I'm scared to update my iPod.
Sheet music costs SIX DOLLARS!!!
Vanilla pudding is better than chocolate.
You rarely get a succulent, ripe, sweet watermelon at the grocery store.
Shot glasses are so cute looking.
People feel the need to text every second.
Wheat Thins are so addicting.
People are so STUPID in movies.
Adults are so STUPID in movies, and the children are always right.
12 ridiculous ad pop up windows are shoved in your face when you accidentally click the 'click here to see the secret behind white teeth! An at home mom figured out this one simple trick!' box.
People slather themselves in makeup. Not acceptable.
People haven't heard of Ben Folds.
There are like, 16 unpopped kernels at the bottom of each popcorn bag. Ahhh.
People like Silly Bands.
Thrift stores are so amazing. Hmmm.
I'm so freaking awesome.
Ke$ha won't wash her hair.
Lindsay Lohan keeps getting in trouble. She's such a good girl!**
Movie people don't make awesome movies like 'Airplane', 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', or 'The Money Pit' anymore. Losers.... I'll be a director then. Time to take this into my own hands anyway.
People eat their fortune cookies BEFORE they're finished with their food.
People crank up the air conditioning when it's like, 70 degrees out.
People are so stupid.
People FREAK out about video games. World of Warcraft, XBox, etc. Well, if someone hacked your account, then yeah, that's something to be angry about. But if someone stands in front of the TV screen while you're playing, there is no reason to get frustrated. Be calm and say, "Excuse me, could you please move?". Do NOT scream like someone's about to gouge your freaking eyes out and protest, "GET OUT OF HERE! I'M DYING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!". Oh bonus right here: Let's say someone's watching a movie, so DON'T FREAKING INTERRUPT THEM AND SAY, "OH I'M GOING TO PLAY A VIDEO GAME NOW. So you can leave."
People say everything is gay. Some things are, but let's just saaaaaay:
Person 1 (Xavier): Wow. Egg rolls are so good. *noms on egg rolls*
Person 2 (Zack): Egg rolls are gross. They're so gay. *glares at Person 1*
Xavier: Well....I think they're pretty delicious. Orange chicken is really good. Do you like orange chicken?
Zack: Orange chicken is gay.
Xavier: Dude, you're never getting a girlfriend *walks away*
Zack: GAY! *struts away*
Weeeell. I think you get the point. I kind of exaggerated it a bit at the end, but you know what's up - Some person really likes something, and then another person has to ruin it and say that's it's gay.
J.K. Rowling doesn't write another book.....
Stephanie Meyers keeps writing books.
A burger is six dollars. "When I was your age, we could buy burgers for a dollar!"
Hey Arnold! isn't still aired on TV.
Math is so difficult to comprehend....for me, anyways.
God doesn't just strike some people down with lightning sometimes.
Girls are obsessive about getting a boyfriend. Calm the heck down.
The Village soundtrack is so amazing.
I secretly listen to epic orchestral music.
People still say:
"That's so bomb!"
"You're so hardcore!"
"ILY" ('I love you', but is too hard to apparently spell out....or even SAY)
" 'Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now."
"FAIL!"
"EPIC FAIL!"
 Harry can't fix his eyesight.
They didn't make more Jaws movies!!! They were so good!**
People feel the need to praise someone every second of the flipping day. Like, "Oh, you're drawing is really good!" "Uhhhh. That's a star?"

....And that's all I can think of right now. Obviously, some of the stuff here is stuff I do know, but am wondering why other people still do it. Hmmph. Hopefully, I'll get another post here sooner than my lazy self did with this one.
