What else is there to think about?
Some random questions/thoughts I had today (because I am terribly exciting):
- What would it be like if humans couldn't sleep?
Would we get through school quicker? Would we have to have faster metabolisms because we would eat more? (I eat something every 4ish hours? I think. So I would have an extra snack or something at night, right?). I wonder if we would all have really short life expectancies. There would be more time for us to do something dangerous and stupid and die. Plus, more moving around, which would put us at a greater risk for disease. Would we all be smarter? If we didn't die sooner, then without sleep we would have more time to study. More time for scientists to work. Think about it. That is twice as long of a life. Would day and night matter as much to us? It would only be related to light. But the overall feeling of calm, sleepy nights were the world is at peace and rests wouldn't exist. What if that gave more time for crazy people to make up a plan to be a dictator over the whole world? I have more to add to this. But I'll stop here.
- What would it be like if I weren't a horrible procrastinating lazy person?
I would get so much more done. I shouldn't be blogging. I've been home for an hour and all I've done is sit around and contemplate baking a cake. Which never happened. I would probably have A+'s in all my clases. Because I would be smarter, having put effort into remembering things. But I don't. I'm just like "Ehh... Whatever." All. The. Time. Which makes me stupid? I should work on that.
- My cat is annoying
Seriously.
- What if God thinks it's silly that we praise him?
(Well, that some of us praise Him). Maybe when people first started praising Him, He thought it was weird, but kind of amusing. Because He is not perfect. And then He just got used to the idea, but He isn't as worthy of our love as we think He is.
I have very mixed emotions about God. I pretty much change my mind everyday. I'm actually starting to lead in a new direction right now. What if God is now super pissed at me?
- Who thought of music as an entertainment industry?
The first songs were telling tales and spreading news. But who came up with the idea that we would actually go out and buy 3 minutes of sound?
- Lawns and yards are stupid.
People survived without them for millions of years. Then, the rich started planting grass and creating yards around their homes. The common people would associate grass with wealth. But then they, too, figured out a way to have lawns themselves, at a manageable price. The concept of yards hasn't been around for all that long. Less than 100 years. What draws them to water sucking plants that are annoying and take a ton of effort to maintain?
Thanks History Channel!
- Yeah. That's about all my thoughts I can remember. Things I still have to do today: Write lyrics for a song I need finished by Friday. Read Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Annotate the heck out of that thing to finish my Reading Log thingamabobs. Write Of Mice and Men reading logs also. I never finished those. And I also need to get 3 current events for Civics. And study for a Civics test on Friday.

9/14/08 :: New layout! Pshyeahhh. Took long enough, huh? It was inspired by the song Angry Chair by Alice in Chains. It doesn't really reflect that anymore, but that's how I started it.
Oooblech
I've been meaning to update since forever... So here's a blog! Working on a new layout. Honestly, it's so ridiculous. I've made five and a half billion layouts and none of them are good. Ughhhh. But I am really sick of this one. It's been up all summer hasn't it? My sense of time is whacked out right now.
So school started. How is that going for you guys? So far my year is alright. It's like... shrug my shoulders... Things could be a lot worse. There was a scheduling change today, in which the stupid people pulled me out of my favorite class because I wasn't allowed to take it yet? They said "BWAH HA HA HAHA AHAH. You're too young!" Which is pretty stupid, because I am as smart as everyone there. Whatever. I am attempting to read all of "Of Mice In Men" tonight to prepare for the class I'm switching into. It's a pain. Books should be enjoyed, not rushed. A lesson I learned with my Shakespeare reading this summer.
By the way - I got to half my goal. It's half depressing, half accomplished. I know I've read more Shakespeare this summer than most people have read in their entire lifetime. Which is good, I guess? It was possibly a waste of time. I'm still deciding whether or not I feel good about doing that...
My dad still doesn't have a job. Pretty soon we will have to cancel my music lessons. And I won't be able to play with my chamber group anymore... So the only free viola thing I can do is play with my church string quartet. Whoop. That's about 4 times a year. With people who make me feel awkward. And we only play one song. And it's a hymn. Hymns are boring. I hate going to church. UHgujshgoiaehfklsd. I wish my dad would just apply to more places. But he won't if it requires us to move. This is my fifth house. Apparently the world would shatter if we moved again. Things would burst into flames... People burning... The whole planet exploding into space... Yeah. So my family will go into debt and we'll have no food... My mom will go insane with the stress... None of her children will be able to afford college... Just so we can stay in this shitty town I am so damn sick of... And what the hell. I should shut up. And erase this paragraph. But I don't want to.
