Poor News Judgement

Recently, Egypt is in chaos, due to protesters. I'm not gonna lie, I barely know anything about it. The only news I do know is that it's because they're sick of their current president/prime minister/etc and want a new one. And I was watching an Arabic news channel (My parents speak Arabic and are from Syria so we just have an international satellite thing), and the streets were a mess and everything was going wrong and chaotic. But do you want to know what my local (NYC area) news covers?
Snow. Honestly. They act like we live in Hawaii or Ecuador or the Equator or something, and we've never seen the snow before. 75% of nights from December until March have news people end their broadcasts with 'And for tomorrow's big storm, we're extending our coverage! Now you can find out all of your snow related details from 4:30 in the morning!'. Honestly, just tell us if we're getting school off, if the public transportation is screwed up, and what roads are actually plowed.
I admit, this year the snow is way more (Currently, my lawn's snow goes up to my knee, but I'm not too tall, so that doesn't say much) and I haven't seen grass since Christmas, but they're acting like the people who watch their news are too stupid to get a shovel, snow plow machine thing, or salt and wear boots that aren't Uggs. Also, my household gives them 1 more viewer, but that's because most of the Arabic TV stations are a mess over the Egypt crisis and cable daytime shows suck. And the local news people shouldn't have a right to be on past 8 or 9 in the morning. Part of me just thinks that they have nobody to go home to and kill time at their studio.
But seriously. We don't need this much coverage for snow! Just tell people to dress in layers and problem solved. I was watching one story about how people can't walk because of the city's poor shoveling stuff, but the people were dressed in heels, boots and dress shoes. You don't go out in like 20 inch snow dressed up for prom! And it's always 'snow-pocalypse' now. Every week, there's a storm that's going to be horrendous! 5 weeks in a row? I don't think so.
And then my Dad and Aunt brought up a valuable point: Why are they complaining about what to do with all this snow when other places (IE Canada) have it worse and they never complain?
I don't even want to know what's going to happen to all this snow once it melts. Floods? Or a cycle of melted snow -> ice -> melted snow -> ice that doesn't evaporate?
Oh, and then the whole Jersey Shore going to Italy 'story'. Hey Italy, you spawned them! Suck it up!

Two Down, Five to Go

I took my photography and AP US history final and midterm today, so . But I’m kinda tired today and I already studied a bit, so I guess I’ll just take it easy today.

I’m gonna play the Sims and watch TV (Friday is like my jackpot for shows) for the rest of the night, so don’t expect a rant from me on the new EA lot.

But now I have to study for math and Spanish on my birthday, and do a biology project which I procrastinated on too, so I can’t really just relax.

This was such a boring post.

STEELERS!

Yay, the Steelers won! This means my APUSH teacher will be in a great mood!  

Okay, I apologize for basically copying your title and post, AE. It’s been a slow Sunday.

And I heard this week, the NYC area will be having a major snowstorm… on the week that I have midterms. I mean, a snow day is a snow day, but I just want to take the midterms and move on with the school year, you know?

And I have midterms this week, along with next Monday and Tuesday. And 2 birthdays. Well, three, if you count SS and mine as separate ones. So don’t expect too much from me until next Tuesday.

Bye!

Oh, Na, Na

What’s my name?  

I want to change my username. I don’t know why. ArmenianTwin95 is too long, and nobody ever abbreviates it as AT95 or something, so I feel bad when people just type out the whole name. That, and it varies from person to person. I mean, in real life, I have a custom name pronunciation from basically everyone, so I should be used to it, but sometimes there’s a space, other times, there’s no ‘95’, or I’m just ‘Armenian’ or ‘Twin’. I know it doesn’t really matter, and that even if I change my name, someone will probably still mentally refer to me as ArmenianTwin95. But I guess I just want a change. I’ve been using this name since the summer of 2009, when I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my new online ‘persona’ or life, or whatever you’d call leaving your old community and going into a new one.

And more importantly, I feel bad for having SS and my shared blog with only my name. Like in the season 8 theme song in Roseanne, when Sarah Chalke and Lecy Goranson shared the role of Becky Conner, but only Lecy got the credit.

So… here are some ideas for a new username. I’d still be ArmenianTwin95 on the EA forums, just in case if anyone wants to gift me.  

1. BluePlumbob or something to that effect.

The good: Hmm… I don’t know. It sounded cool in my mind, but…

The bad: The initials, BP, sound like the oil company and Bristol Palin. It also sounds like the Pink Plumbobs, so I don’t want to be connected with them. And if I moved on from the Sims, the theme wouldn’t really fit anymore, so yeah.

2. CyberSloth.

The good: It fits my personality, it’s probably more memorable and easy to write. I also have some blog header ideas that I can use with that name. And CS looks like a cool initial.

The bad: I use a similar name for one of my IRL blog stuff, so I don’t want anyone to make a connection. From either ‘side’.

 

I’m thinking of going with the second option. But then again, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?

 

And which music website is better: Pandora or Last.FM? I’ve been using Pandora today, but the 40 hour per month limit might get annoying in the summer, and Last.FM still hasn’t sent me my verification email… so yeah.

My Inner Narcissist Wants to Reply

The title explains it all. So AE, I apologize if it seemed like I was being bitter about blogging about a friend. I would’ve say the same thing if it was for a complete stranger. And I never said you were wrong, or I didn’t respect your opinion. I didn’t ask you to change. I just simply stated my own opinion.

The harassments were wrong. The lies were wrong. But I haven’t spoken with Kami in a while, so I don’t even know if she saw the post. So I wasn’t blogging because her feelings got hurt. I was blogging because I wanted  to.

And the same goes for everyone’s blogs. I can’t tell you what to do, you can’t tell me what to do, and so on. And likewise, if you can’t accept that, then you know how to press CTRL W.

 

Ignore this post if AE’s recent post wasn’t directed toward me. I’m in a narcissistic mood today, so I wanted to reply.

More Complaints

This week was not my best week at school. To sum it up, we got a new student teacher in English who actually does stuff and now the class is complaining because of all the work she’s giving us. We have to read like a few chapters of The Catcher in the Rye a night, which isn’t a lot. So… yeah. The complaints have been extremely far fetched. Like calling her a terrorist because she’s Azerbaijani, saying she’s creepy because she likes sci-fi, and implying that she’s irresponsible because she’s an unwed mother (She’s still in a relationship with the father, but that doesn’t change anything). I actually like her, because she comments on the journal entries we have to write. As in, she doesn’t just write ‘explain?’ and stuff 20 million times. But since I’m the minority in that class, guess who’s wrong?

In Photo, I need to make 2 final pictures and a contact sheet, which is basically a bunch of film picture stuff on one sheet. Google explains it better. But yeah. Yesterday, I made a picture that came out okay. He lost the test strip, which is one part of the project. Today, I made a great picture, which he liked, along with 4 backups. And guess what he said? ‘Yeah, you need a filter. You should stay after school next week.’. Why should I stay after school when he lost my test strip and he specifically told me that I didn’t need a filter? Ugh. And he thinks he’s my only class. Frankly, I care more about bringing up my other grades than one elective. I want an A, but if it means sacrificing my other grades, than forget it. And I heard next week New Jersey is going to be hell, snow-wise? Great.

But my SAT Prep grade went up. So that’s nice.

The next part of the post is me just rambling about my classes. So you don’t have to read it or comment or anything.  

---

In other news, I don’t know what classes to take next year. Not just electives, but ‘main’ stuff. I want to be in at least 3  honors or AP classes. I plan on taking Algebra II and Chemistry CP. I don’t know about Spanish 4, yet. I’m pretty sure I’m going to English 11 Honors. I might be in either US History II Honors, or AP. And then there's electives. I want to take Math SAT Prep, AP US Gov., and a social studies honors elective which is about current events and stuff. Oh, and gym. I don’t intend on going to Harvard or Yale or any of those schools, so I care about MY stress levels too, you know?

My Thoughts on the TMN Gift Post

Okay, first, I’m just going to say this one thing: I don’t want to stretch this out into a saga of blog posts that will end with someone taking in indefinite hiatus.

Now that that’s out of the way, I agree with what The Mare’s Nest did/said for the gifting situation. I’m friends with Kami, and I’ve been in Kelle’s chatbox a few times, but I understand what their ‘side’ did was wrong. Gifting people just to tell them off is wrong. I think I remember reading that on someone’s blog once about gifting stuff to the Gurus (I think it was FuryRed or The Mares themselves, but I don’t remember who) just to tell them off. So wouldn’t that be cyberbullying? Yes, I doubt the big corporation would try to sue some angry kids, and that many gifts from several people is different than one that just says ‘eff you!’, but isn’t it the same thing at the end of the day?

And for AE’s blog post: Well, you wouldn’t want to know about my Internet history. No, I didn’t do anything illegal, but I used to troll and be annoying and hated and even won third place for ‘troll of the year’ in a forum contest poll thing… when I joined a forum in August. I won’t say what the forum was (It was for Pokémon, though), or what my username was (I used a different name for that community, for this purpose, oddly), but I’m just going to tell you: I was awful. And 11. And bored. But I eventually used grammar, stopped harassing people, and grew up. And then I won an honorable mentioned award for the most improved category.

If I dared to link that account here, I’d be shunned. You’d all want my Internet disconnected years ago. But once again, I grew up and made my own blog. Now, whether or not you think I’m a n00b now is your opinion, but if the Internet was just a hit or miss chance, where would some of us be? I’ve got into Facebook fights on real life. I’ve gotten into some fights with the Pokémon fansite community when SS and I had one. But I changed after learning my mistakes. And I haven’t been a troll or n00b in this community yet (This blog post probably is sending me down that road, but whatever), so that should count for something, right?

I mean, I agree that if a n00b/troll does something illegal or on the cyberbullying side, they should be punished, but can’t they change? I’m not calling Kami and her friends n00bs or trolls, but I’m pretty sure that in a few months, some of them will cool down and change their behavior.

I’m trying not to sound condescending, but haven’t we all been the lowest on the totem pole? Don’t we all have n00b/troll experiences? Why are we trying to forget our pasts, just because TMN didn’t cover it?

Should they grow up? Yes. Do we have to shun them and hate them until they do? Not necessarily.

Wow, this blog post was shorter than I thought it would be.

The Acceptance Playlist

Since tomorrow is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I’m going to make a playlist of Sim Music videos with themes about… accepting others!

Even though I already posted this song last month, I’ll post it again. I really like the video for the song and the Sim Video. It’s about using your inner spark, like a Firework. I like how it’s catchy and it has a message, and it’s not a slow ballad that I’d fall asleep to.

The next song is Underneath it All, by No Doubt. It’s like a decade old, but I still love it. Although this is a slow song, it’s instrumentals keep the song alive. It’s about how Gwen Stefani feels that her boyfriend likes her for who she is, under all that hair and make up and underneath it all. The actual music video portrays that theme better, though. But here’s a nice video about accepting others for who they are, not what they wear.

I know what you’re thinking. Ke$ha, in an acceptance playlist? That’s supposed to be honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Well, yes. Her song, We R Who We R, is about, well, being who we ‘r’. Ke$ha was inspired by the recent gay suicides that occurred to write this song. Or so I heard. But yeah. This song is fun enough to have all the party animals singing it and it teaches acceptance! Ke$ha, you just earned my respect.

Raise your Glass, by P!nk, is the next song. The song is about just celebrating your flaws and accepting others. P!nk is good at getting her messages across, and Raise your Glass is no exception. So raise your glass, and celebrate your flaws!

Bruno Mars’s song celebrates being just the way you are. Okay, so it’s more for girls, and it’s ‘I like you even if you have love handles!’ more than ‘Your curves are adorable’, but… let’s not look to deep into the lyrics, okay? I like the video for this, and it makes me wish I had The Sims 2 for it. But am I the only one who thinks the ‘nerdy’ girl still looks better than most Sims and people in the real world?

The last song, Beautiful by Christina Aguilera, tells listeners that they are beautiful no matter what they say, and in every single way. I like the message, even though it’s Christina Aguilera telling us that it’s okay to not be beautiful. You know, because it’s not like a gorgeous, stick thin, blue eyed, blond hair girl who can sing and dance has to worry about being beautiful on the inside.

 

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Enjoy your day off and remember, accept others!

Good Mood

This weekend has been going great for me, so far.  

Friday, I watched How I Met Your Mother at 7, then I watched some Disney stuff, then I watched the movie The Freedom Writers on MTV, then I watched an episode of Roseanne. Oh, and I played Sims the whole day, too.  

Saturday, I had like no homework, so I went to the mall. I went a little overboard with shopping (1 sweatshirt from Aeropostale and 2 American Eagle sweatshirts, along with a calendar from Borders), so I feel like I have to save up more. I originally got 2 other shirts from AE because I thought they were on sale, but the jerks that work there put the details in a small font, so I had to buy 2 T-Shirts for 40 dollars. But later, SS and I were like ‘Screw them, let’s return it’, so we did. Then we got the other shirts. I don’t like AE (the store, not the blogger), because the workers follow me around and ask me if I want anything… every 30 seconds. Just let me browse your overpriced crap on my own, thank you very much. Then we went home and we played Sims and watched Boy Meets World.

Oh, and the Steelers won their game yesterday, so my APUSH teacher will be in a great mood this week.

Today, I plan on just playing Sims, watching TV and relaxing. I guess this weekend makes up for last week.  

But just in case this blog post jinxes anything… *knocks on wood* .

Snow Day!

I have a snow day today! Which means I’ll be doing… nothing today. Well, I have some daily English homework but I’ll do that later.

I was watching Mayor Bloomberg of New York City do a press release thing (I wanted to watch The View), and he said he didn’t close schools because it would be hard to get child care so last minute. They made the announcement at like 5 AM, apparently. I wouldn’t want to wake up so early to find out I would have to go to work or school anyway.

I feel bad for NYC kids. He said that they’ve only closed schools about 8 times since the late ‘70s. Since 2008, my school district has closed 8 times. o.O So I guess I should stop complaining about the lack of snow days.

I Should Start Charging for this*…

Yesterday, I predicted that the snow would ruin my weekend, along with the homework. Guess who was right?

And I have to go to my cousin’s birthday party tomorrow. Cool, right? She’s 12, and it’s on my mother’s side, like the ones I don’t like. The adults just laugh at everything and are intolerable, and the kids just run around and scream and fight. The teenagers, AKA the ones near my age are wannabe guidos and guidettes. And the only time they act serious is when they talk about ‘politics’ or religion. I don’t mean to diss anyone, but just shouting ‘Abortion is bad!’ and ‘Gays shouldn’t get married’ and ‘The government hates the middle class’ to people who you know that disagree with you isn’t politics. And did I mention I have a Spanish test and Bio quiz, which I need to do good on for my grades, Monday? Ugh.

Oh, and my Mom said ‘Yeah, we’re probably not gonna see them this year, so we won’t buy her a gift.’ But we got the call, but the snow ruined everything, so yeah. And she’s my favorite cousin, from that group, anyway. I don’t need her to become bitter.

And I still have to do my APUSH outline, Spanish homework, study for Spanish and Bio, and do my English and SAT Prep homework. At least SAT Prep and English aren’t for Monday.

Did I mention I have to go to Church tomorrow morning, too? I mean, I wouldn’t do my homework from 11 to 1 anyway, but that means I can’t do my homework late tonight, and stay up even later, tonight.

So, how much do you think a teen psychic could make? Maybe I can get a show!  

 

*I’m not really a psychic, and I don’t make predictions or do séances, palm reading, crystal ball stuff, ouija boards, those cards that begin with a t (tarot?), or anything of the paranormal sort [I don’t believe in it either]. I do, however, accept money from strangers.  

Resolutions

I guess it’s never too late to make a New Year’s Resolution. So here are mine:

• Eat healthier.

I know I’m not going to become a vegetarian or someone who only eats all natural foods, but I could make some changes to my diet. Like instead of having PopTarts for breakfast, I could try eating cereal? Now that I think of it, it sounds more appetizing than eating the same psuedo-cinnamon-square everyday. PopTarts are only good for eating quickly, and if it’s a one of those nice, luxurious flavors, in my opinion. I’d rather have the chocolate chip cookie one than the ‘cinnamon’ one. And when I go to the mall, I could order healthier sides at the Chinese Food place. I’m going to McDonald’s less, but Lo Mein isn’t that much of an improvement. As long as I burn off the fat, that’s what matters, right?

• Drink more water.

Every time I hear someone say that people are supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day, I always say that I’m going to do it, but then I forget about it. I’m not saying I’m going to drink 8 glasses of water each day this year, but just more.

• Sleep earlier.

Self explanatory.  

• Exercise more.

For vain and health reasons. I don’t think I’m fat, but I’ve been told that I look a lot like my uncles from when they were my age, and… they’re not exactly skinny now, so I don’t want to follow that path, too. Besides, my jeans are getting tighter and all of those trendy teen stores make all of the medium shirts small, so shopping would be more convenient if I lost some weight.

• Procrastinate less/Study more.

Once again, I know I won’t magically become some MENSA member who scores a 2400 on his SATs and graduates Harvard and Yale at the same time. But I just want to get all A’s and B’s. I have some motivations behind this. A single income household paying for 2 kids to go to college at the same time is going to be hard, and I want to get as much scholarships as I can to save on tuition and stuff. I want a high GPA to show all of those snobby kids (Like the class president, if any of you remember) that you don’t need to be good in math and science only to succeed. I want to show the private school that I used to go to that you can do well in life without playing a sport. I want to make my future family’s life easier. You get the idea. And I could achieve this by… studying more! Like for the biology quiz and Spanish test I have Monday! :/ Oh, and I don’t want to be in classes with people who don’t want to learn.

• Be able to look forward to something.

Right now, the only things I can look forward to, honestly, are new Heart Legacy posts, Friends,Boy Meets World, Roseanne, The Nanny, and How I Met Your Mother episodes, and Tumblr. I appreciate other things, but those are the only ‘real’ things that make me forget about everything else going on. So I just want to look forward to something that’s not on a screen, I guess.

• Make a friend.

I want to have a friend that I can go to the Apple Store and take random Facebook album pictures with. I want to have a friend that will accept me for my complaints, rants, and problems. I want a friend who accepts me for my neuroticness and clinginess. I want a friend who I could sit at lunch with and have my own table with. I want a friend who’ll leave inside jokes on my Facebook wall. Yes, SS already does all of these (excluding the Apple Store part ), because we’re twins, but… I want a new friend. I have some, but none who I’m this close with. Maybe someone in my school who’s my age and a boy? The only friends I have now are girls and not in my grade. So that complicates some stuff.

 

So, there are my resolutions. Will I follow them? Probably not. But hey, it’s worth a try.

The TMN/EA Moderator Issue

If you’ve kept up with EA’s latest shenanigans, you’d know that some of the mods use The Mare’s Nest instead of the actual forums to moderate the forum. Seriously, WTF? I’m not going to lie, I use The Mare’s Nest to check up on the forum instead of actually going to visit there too, but I’m not a mod, so it’s okay.
I went to her profile, and apparently, Ruth is a parent. And married. That's disgusting. So, if her kids were having problems in school, she’d wait until the school would send her a letter to do something about it instead of just paying attention to their grades? Or if her spouse was in an affair or got laid off, she’d wait until the news would reach Facebook? I’d hate to be a part of that family.
Seriously. I could care less about her ‘go with the flow’ tactics for the EA forum. I don’t like the implications that others who know her in real life have to deal with her actions. I mean, people get banned, and you could just log out of the computer, but you can’t actually change her personality or behavior.
I’m thankful that she confessed it, though. Now I can go on the EA Google Finance page and complain about EA all I want, and maybe their investors will take a hint. 

There’s Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday was the day Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas. And since I’m an Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Christian, I stayed home from school. I have to admit, there wasn’t really anything worth staying home for, because we just go to Church, but my Dad was busy because of work, so we couldn’t go. So I just tried to catch up on homework. But that didn’t really work.

Now before anyone comments and starts hating me because I’m using my ethnicity to my advantage, let me defend myself. I felt really stressed out and borderline depressed this week, because Holiday Break just ended, so I guess I needed a day off. Besides, I have known several people who have also done some similar things…

• My ‘friend’ (Long story) was absent for a week because of an ear infection. While she was at the doctor’s office, she said she took a few more of those ‘please excuse so and so’ passes. I don’t know if she needed to get them signed, but apparently, her doctor was okay with her taking passes.
• A girl in several of my classes has taken off for her sister’s Bat Mitzvah (Forgive me for any misspellings, I’m not Jewish and I’ll admit I’m ignorant) or something (She just said it was for her sister and then she was talking about the Bat Mitzvah so I’m just assuming they were correlated) and Passover, so I guess my religious holidays should count, too.
• Another boy who always cuts class, never does his homework and so on, took off for Passover. I’m not exactly so sure on how he’d embrace the holiday.
• A boy who was sick one day, came to school the next day, then was absent the next day because of make-up work. Although he claimed to sleep at 2 AM because of homework, so I could understand why he’d be absent.

And nobody went like ‘HEY NO FAIR THAT’S NOT A HOLIDAY, ARMENIANS DON’T EXIST!’. Okay, so that wouldn’t happen, but ignorant people would think that I’m just trying to cheat the system or something. One girl even said ‘Oh yeah! Yesterday was Armenian New Year, right?’. So I’ve done my job.  Even if she got the wrong holiday. I don’t even think there’s an Armenian New Year.

And in New Jersey, there’s another snow storm. So today, we had a half day in school. I don’t like how my district will do anything to avoid closing school.

I don’t know if you remember my lazy English teacher, but guess what happened? Today, I was just writing an assignment I missed from Thursday, and since my desk is literally right next to his, I just glanced at his laptop from the side of my eye, and guess what I saw? HE WAS PLAYING SPIDER SOLITAIRE. I was so pissed off. Like, OMG. Sure, we were working in groups, but it’s stupid that he expects us to have positive work ethics when he doesn’t.

But in other news, I got a 100 on a jump rope test in gym. Monday I was so inept at jump roping but now I actually got a 100 after taking countless retests! I’m pretty sure my teacher gave it to me out of pity, but who cares. xD

But I have homework in 6 of my classes. Sure, I only have to do 4 of them, and 1 of them is because I didn’t go to school Thursday, but it looks like I’ll be home all weekend, doing homework. Especially with the snow.  Oh well. As long as I can go to the mall once, I think I’ll be okay. xD

…. I’m like the shopping version of an emotional eater. I just go to the mall whenever I’m feeling bored or sad and expect all my problems to be solved. And I buy things I don’t need. In New Jersey, T-Shirt season is from late April, if we’re lucky, to the end of September, if we’re lucky. And I counted how much t shirts I have from Aeropostale in the summer, and I have… 20 something. And I’m pretty sure I’ve bought more since then. Hey, it could be worse. I could be buying EA products.

But I heard we might be having a snow day Wednesday. So yay for new uber snow detecting technology.

The R Word

What word can summarize my transient (Thanks, SAT Prep) winter break? Regret!

I don’t know where things went wrong. Maybe it was sleeping at 3 every day. Maybe it was not doing my homework during that blizzard, or when I came home. Maybe it was checking the online gradebook, and still thinking about school so much. But my biggest regret was yesterday.

I’m just going to warn you right here. The next part of my blog post is extremely bratty, so feel free to leave now if you think you can’t handle a bratty teen.

Friday, I slept at 5 AM. Well, 5:20. I know, that was a really stupid decision on my half. But I’ve done it before, and this week I slept at 3 most days, so I figured it wasn’t a big deal. I was wrong.

Saturday, I woke up at 12 PM. After a few minutes of relaxing, I went online. My parents told me I shouldn’t stay on too long, because we had relatives visiting New York City, so we had to visit them. I got angry, because I thought they would be adults who are at least 3 times older than me, talking about things I don’t care about, and treating me as a child. I was right, but I’ll explain that later.

My parents didn’t listen to my argument and just said ‘But their entire family of 5 is here! And they’d be sad if you didn’t visit. Plus, we’ll do whatever you want after.” I thought since it was their whole family, I probably should visit. And the last sentence sounded tempting, too. So we got dressed and went to NYC.

But there was traffic. For those of you who haven’t been to NYC, just think of it as driving around your block 20 times at 5 miles per hour. I got nauseous. And my parents had the radio on really loud, so I turned my MP3 on really loud, so I got a headache.

When we saw them, we just sat in their hotel room and talked. My parents and (I don’t even know how I’m related to them, to be honest, so I’ll just say my Aunt and Uncle for convenience) aunt and uncle just gossiped about other family members, for most of the time. My aunt and uncle didn’t even care that we were there or ask SS and I the usual ‘how’s school?’-esque questions.  And at the last minute, their 3 kids (Who are in their 20’s) came and said hi. I felt annoyed, but we left, so I could care less.

When we went home, I felt sick, so I just turned off the laptop at 10. I just went upstairs and lied down in my Grandma’s bed, because her room has a TV. But I felt even more sick from that (The show I was watching was George Lopez, if you’re wondering. ), so I just turned it off and went into my bed. I felt even more sick, and then I… I’ll spare you the details, but the next part involved me kneeling in front of a toilet. Then I just went to sleep, because I was convinced I was sick and there was nothing to do besides sleeping.

Then… at 2:30 AM, I woke up. SS was going to sleep. After talking with him for a few minutes, I realized I felt okay. Like, not sick at all. And I was annoyed. If I just drank some Gingerale or tea, I could’ve felt better, and spend the last ‘full’ day of my Holiday break better. And some websites that I go to had a lot of New Year’s Day specials (Like Farmville and GPXPlus [Yes, I’m a nerd. ]), so I missed out on those, too. BECAUSE. I. DIDN’T. DRINK. TEA. Ugh.

So as you could tell, I’m in a bad mood.

I really hope there’s a huge snowstorm tonight.
