THE BEST THINGS ABOUT BEING A NERD

I am a nerd.

I know I am, and I see no reason to hide it. Here are a few ways to tell if you and I have something in common:

1)You know everything about this person:


2)You love the Big Bang Theory (the show...and the actual theory)


3)You have had arguments about whether or not a "negative A" is less than an "F", relating to the American school grading system.
(For the record, negative A is less than F. Ten minutes of arguing decided that.)

4)You own (or really really wish you owned) Star Wars bed sheets.


5)You are fully aware that not all nerds look like this:


6)You know what a hemidemisemiquaver is, and you know how to use it. (also applies if you're a band geek)


7)You know (and avidly play) the game "Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!"



More will be added later. Ideas welcome if you think I've forgotten to add something. Until then,


Oh, and remember,

Why I'm Mad At Mr. Lacombe

What sort of tyrannical man asks me to go out of my way and create an entire blog (this includes providing personal information, design of the main profile, creation of several works of literary art, addition of "gadgets", and loss of my valuble time) while also asking me to provide several three-page advanced reader responses, and two fictional literary texts? I didn't want to believe that this atrocity had tarred my ears, but it had, and it continues to.

But then, in the midst of my repudiation, the inexorable sir assailed again!! Just when I thought I could elude his horrendous grasp, he dealt yet another blow! This time, he forced all his pupils to view each other's blogs that they had created, and criticized them viciously in front of their very designers.

The pain was too much for me to bear! I quickly set pace for the place I resided. Once I was there, I activated my computing device as fast as I was able, and I logged onto the website where I created my blog. I discarded everything that that cruel man had decided was meager, and I recreated everything. It was heart-breaking to see all my hard work gone! such a painful blow to my self -esteem! How could he do such a thing?!?!?!?!




Lol j/k Mr. Lacombe; you're actually pretty cool ^_^

Random Quick Post

I haven't posted in a while. So sue me. I'm supposed to be typing up this assignment for my teacher, Mr. Lacombe, about a book that I've read, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I promise I will (eventually!)

How to Close Your Mouth: Save Yourself and Spare Others

Good morning San Francisco!!
Actually, it's currently about 9:30 PM there. But that's besides the point. That was merely a greeting. It meant nothing, so don't get on my back about it.
So I've been dragging my whopping 105 lbs to the gym a lot more often. By that, I mean I've gone twice in the past week. Before that, however, the last time I had gone to the gym was about two years earlier. And the occasional physical education class (which was, and still is, by my standards, considered "Hell" due to my lack of willingness to be healthy and fit).
So you probably have a pretty good guess what this segment is about, right? If you don't, then I think you might need a little help. Perhaps you're dyslexic. If you were though, I don't see how you would be able to read this. Anyway, for the more clueless minds, we're discussing America's weight issues today (here we wait for the background applause).
Being overweight is not odd nowadays. It's almost considered "normal" now. Well, here's a huge clue America; IT'S NOT. This is why it's still referred to as OVERweight. Meaning you are OVER the WEIGHT you should be.
(Glances are exchanged in the audience as everyone looks around, seeing all those who are overweight and acting suprised, as if they have never seen these people before in their lives. Those with a weight issue also look around, trying to hide the fact that they're the ones being looked at by the rest of us.)
Earlier today, a friend and I were walking and discussing this issue. Said friend decided upon a new name for some overweight women in severe denial who try to fit themselves into tighter clothes, only to have their "rolls of fat spill out all over the place". The name? Pillsbury. (I believe that name is copyrighted, so here's your shoutout!) Why Pillsbury? It refers to how the buscuits in a Pillsbury brand biscuit container explode all over the place when you pop open the can. Yes, this may be rude on some level, but for the love of higher beings! When clothing is too tight on you, get a larger size! Just because you jam your body into something small, it doesn't make your body small. Your body will stay the same size, and the clothes themselves will stretch and, quite possibly, tear. Its completely indecent, its uncomfortable for you, and its an eyesore for everyone else out there. There's limits, you know?
I know I've said in the past that I would love to hear from you guys and hear your opinions, and see any pictures you send me regarding my stories, but seriously people: I don't really want any pictures of "pillsburies" being sent to me. You might give other readers (and me) nightmares or something to that effect.
So that was basically my daily rant. I was considering doing a small segment on relationships if anyone would like me to. I'm always looking for suggestions :)

Education Crisis, Complaints, and Solution

And I quoth "Those idiots in the hallways" . This refers to many of the students at the high school I attend. You see, during classes, quite a few students decide they wish not to be there, so instead of even attempting to get their "fragile" minds to learn something, they give up and wander the hallways, annoying the teachers and other students; the standard obnoxious, rebellious, and quite probably drug-influenced teen. This is also known as "ditching, and makes the student to be considered truent. When they are truent so many times, they systematically fail all their classes and are expelled from the system. Thereby accomplishing what they wanted to do all along, but in a long, drawn-out process so that, in the future, they may say that they at least "attempted" to do well in school.
I think this is all an idiotic plot and millions agree with me. I don't need any form of a poll to tell you that. Even you probably agree with me. However, the depressing this is that this moronic plot WORKS. EVERY TIME. What does this say about our society? Do we only fall for this because we ourselves are stupid? Or do we do NOTHING because we CAN'T? Perhaps we've made so many laws and regulations that we can't either force the students immediately out of school or force them to attend their classes. After all, they're just tying up the school system. They only cause trouble. And what does our government focus on? Trying to force another country to act more like us because we don't like how they're governing themselves. Doesn't that just make us the nicest country ever? (<-- total sarcasm. For those who couldn't tell.) But I will (figuratively) speak more of that at a later time.
So what might solve this? What could solve the lack-of-education crisis AND the financial crisis?
How about we charge money for schooling? Not just for college- from 1st through 12th grade. I know there will be a lot of controversy over this, and I would love to hear everyone's opinion on this. Just keep in mind that I have not proposed any sort of set limit on how much money we should spend for our children's schooling, so don't get carried away and start thinking it would cost a fortune. It could only cost $50 per semester. Maybe more. I don't know. I'm just a person throwing ideas out there.
