Happy New Year's Eve!

You know for some reason, that just doesn't sound right. Like, Merry Christmas, sounds right. Happy Fourth of July, sounds right. But Happy New Year, does not. But that's not the point. Happy New Year's Eve everybody!!! I know I should probably wait until tomorrow, since that is actually New Year's, and I think that's a bigger deal, but I'm impatient, so there. I'll post tomorrow also, just because I can.
You know, this year went by so fast. You watch on tv the shows that go on about what happened this year, and things that happened in like March feel like they happened yesterday. It's so weird. And it does not feel like it's the end of the year. It feels like tomorrow is still going to be 2009. But it won't. Weird, right? Also, think about this. We just lived through a whole decade! It might not mean much to you, but as I love history, I find that pretty cool. It's just strange.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you all have a great time with your families and that you get some good presents! But remember, Christmas is not about what gifts you get, it's actually about Jesus's birth, and world peace. So happy birthday Jesus! (Sorry, I had to) Merry Christmas!

Random...

It's Shannon

I just had to tell you all that I have 3 pack abs :D Yes, i know that was random but i just found out i had... see I knew all the laughing would pay off :P now i'm strong... and i'm working to get 6 pack lol :P i'm not trying to brag or anything, but i was actually suprised myself... well enjoy your holidays everyone!

Sometimes

You know, sometimes, everything feels wrong. Like I'm living my life wrong, and it's all going to be a disaster if I don't fix it soon. Maybe I just think too much. But it's weird. I mean, I know there is no "right" way on how to live your life. And yet sometimes, it's like right now is a rough draft, and then soon I'll be able to fix the mistakes, or completely start over if I need to. I don't know why, though. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Or am I just crazy and I should get my head examined at a psych ward? You know what, maybe I'll get my head examined anyway, just in case.

Boys...

My point of view about them,

Boys are okay, I mean they can be annoying, I MEAN REALLY annoying or they can be really nice, I have met guys that are nice in Allamuchy but in Saint Johns, there are alot of them that are nice, boys don't bother me much except when it come to "Girls", OMIGOSH! It's soo annoying how they flirt so much with the girl he likes in class and everything and you just wish the guy would stop agreeing everything the girl says or laughs at everything she says when it's not funny at all and ASK HER OUT ALREADY! I mean it's SO AVIOUS like a dumb kid would know already! I've have always wanted a guy as best friend to change it up alittle but thats not going to happend in this generation. And also when a girl ask a guy who he like just answer her! Instead of saying something like I don't know (even though you SO do). and i hate it how guys be mean to you because you don't know if they like you or there're just being jerks. I love it how when a girls knows who a guy likes and all they say is "ummm.... no" haha guys, were not stupid as you think we are. i wish guys weren't perverted because you don't know if they like you or your body.... awkward but true. Thats pretty much or i have to say about boys :) I hope you agree with me :P

Some Rules...

Okay, this has been bugging me for a long time. You see, there are actually rules to saying jokes. Well, not rules, persay, but guidelines. And I know a lot of people who don't follow them, which gets me annoyed. So, here they are:

1. DO NOT REPEAT - As in, if someone says something funny, it's funny. And you may want to add to it, so you can be funny too. But adding on does not mean saying the exact same thing 5 seconds later, with like, 1 word different. Because guess what, you just killed the joke.
2. JOKES ARE NOT MEMORIES - Okay sure, one of your memories can be about that time when that joke was said and everyone cracked up. But a joke is not a memory. So you cannot say, "Hey, remember quack..." If "quack" was some joke that was told. Unless, that joke is now an inside joke, but, see rule #4. But if it was just a joke that was just funny then, forget about it. It's over.
3. JOKES HAVE TIME LIMITS - If you said something funny, do not keep saying it for like a week. Depending on how funny the joke is, or your status among your clique, you have a certain amount of time for how long you can use the joke. Unless it becomes a memory, because those can always be used, but see rule #2.
4. NO STEALING (OR BORROWING) JOKES - Let's say someone said a joke or something funny, and everyone cracked up, spit out their drinks, etc. The next day, you cannot use that joke as your own. It's like plagerism. Sure, you can use that joke in your new joke. Like making fun of the person for saying that. But if you're trying to revive someone else's joke because you want to be funny, shame on you.
5. IT'S ALL ABOUT TIMING - With any joke, timing is everything. And anyone who can have perfect timing, is like a joke master. But there is also a lot of timing involved in adding on to a joke. You have to wait until you can be heard, or until everyone stops laughing, but they still have the joke on their minds. And if you miss it, your chance to be funny has gone, and it won't be coming back. There is an exception though, as long as your joke is funny enough. If it isn't, give up. Also, look back to rule #1.
6. THERE ARE GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS - Sometimes people have an off day, and they just can't relate with a good joke. If that's the case, then accept it, and stop trying to make everyone laugh like on your good days. We all just need a break sometimes.
7. JUST LAUGHING - There are some jokes that are perfect. Extremely perfect. And to try and top it would be practically a crime. So you have to know when to just laugh, and not try to add on. Because sometimes laughing can be a great add on. Oh, and sometimes, people say things that might be funny, but are really meant to be serious. So you can smile, giggle even, but don't outwardly laugh as if it was the greatest joke you had ever heard. Also, refer to rule #1 and #6.
8. KNOW YOUR EXPERTISE - If you're sarcastic, be sarcastic. If you're goofy, be goofy. Just be you. And do not try to make yourself seem funny by stealing someone's style or trying to do something completely different, unless you have high status in your clique or you're just that funny.

Well, I guess that's it. If I think of anything else, I'll add on. But please try to keep these rules in mind, next time you're with your friends, because no one likes a joke-ruiner.

Stress

Lately, I've been feeling a lot of stress, what with all the projects we've been given and all the pressure put on us about highschool and stuff. The thing is, I don't deal with stress well. It consumes me, it's all I think about, and it makes me nervous and worried until the point where if I don't do something soon, I might do something drastic. Fortunately, I've never done anything "drastic". But I really do hate stress. I mean, stress just eats you up inside, making your every thought about what's going to happen, and how everything will work out. And you just can't find relief. Last week I was very moody, and I almost thought I was getting depressed. But really, it was just stress. (And maybe my period) You see, I didn't know how I was going to handle everything on my shoulders. I waited to the last minute with my projects, and that was not good. The only thing that helped me escape my troubles was sleep, but duh, sleep doesn't last long. But I finally got my projects done today, and now that I look back, I realize how stupid it all was. Okay, i have to go light the menorah now, so I'll leave you with this. Procrastination can ruin your life.

um...

Well, I don't really have anything to say. I just felt like putting up a post for the sake of putting up a post.... Wait! I think I got it! Boys! There's a lot to say about them, so why don't I just use most of this space to say what every other girl is thinking.

First of all, they are so confusing! I mean they say one thing, but they actually just mean another thing! Like, they might say, "You're so funny", and to me that's a compliment that might mean that he likes me, but you know what he's actually thinking, "She's so funny". Well, I guess that's my fault for over-reading things, but sometimes it works the other way. They could make fun of you, when they actually like you, but how are we supposed to know! I mean, if someone liked me, I would want to know, right? But instead of telling you, the act like they don't.Well, actually, girls kind of do that more, and they expect the guy to realize they like them, even though it's probably virtually impossible to know from those signs.

And don't you hate it when they make fun of you? Like, we get it enough from our friends, we don't need it from you. Or what if they think they're funny, when in reality, they are absolutely NOT. They say things that they expect everyone is just going to crack up from, but it's like, no, just no. Then again, girls do that too. But more boys than girls. Definitely. And I'm pretty sure the people who know me know who I'm talking about, but I won't say any names.

God, boys frustrate me so much. It would be nice if they all just went away, but I guess there are some nice boys out there, just not in Allamuchy.

Well, that's all, I guess. See ya.

Pick-Up Lines

Okay, I just have talk about this. My friends and I have been making lists lately, a lot of lists. The one we made in math class today was about pick-up lines. We've been trying really hard to think of them, and they're so corny, they're funny.

You see, pick-up lines are very confusing. Some men use them because they actually think they're going to score with women because of them. Some guys use them just to break the ice or make a girl laugh. I just have to say, pick-up lines should be icebreakers ONLY. I mean, if used correctly, pick-up lines can be great for getting a girl to talk to you. But if you honestly believe that some girl is going to be attracted to some cheesy pick-up line that you probably just got off the internet, you are derranged, and the girl is only going to walk away.

Anyway, here is the list of all the lines we've come up with so far. Don't be afraid to comment with your own.

1. I need a band-aid because I scraped my knee falling for you.
2. I must be dead because you look like an angel.
3. You must be a library book because I'm checking you out.
4. Are you tired? Because you have been running through my mind all day.
5. Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
6. Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see.
7. Do you have a map? Because I just got lost in your eyes.
8. Your dad must be rich, because your eyes are like diamonds.
9. I lost my number. Can I have yours?
10. So, you're a girl?
11. Are you on fire, because you're smokin' hot.
12. Is there an airport nearby, or is that just my heart taking off?
13. Did you just trip me? Because I think I fell for you.
14. Call the police, because you've stolen my heart.

Obviously, my friends and I do not use them!!!, we just think they're funny.
