*grumbles* British people...

Everyone! Look at that and think Dwight Schrute! (zoom out)






I do suppose I really should give up this whole ‘writers block’ thing, it’s a pain in the butt and I can’t seem to think of anything to write (almost makes sense…).
So I guess I’ll do what most standard blogs do (I don’t want to stand out in a group of blogs). Today, my blog moral shall be…
“Brits are not nearly as polite as they seem.”
Today I had to pick out a suit and tie for homecoming. I went to Marshal Fields and picked out the very cheapest one I could find. It was $100 for a sports coat and pants, I mean my god, what is this world coming to?! I'm only going to wear it once or twice and yet have to pay out the *arse* for it. And anyways, on my way out of the store in the parking lot, my nice black pants fell off the hanger they were on and fell directly into a puddle. I'm just thinking out loud but isn’t that JUST MY LUCK. When I bent down to pick it up some British guy ran into me with his car and started spouting some British terms in my ear, once again, JUST MY LUCK. And so, the moral of the story has come to pass.
“Brits are not nearly as polite as they seem.”

I AM THE LIIIIGHT!


Hello world!
This being my third or fourth blog post I think I should make it special…somehow… I’ll get to that later
So yes, in this post I am to identify with and compare myself to a non-living non-breathing object.
Now, truth be told I truly could not think of anything to write so I just googled “inanimate object comparison” to get ideas. There really wasn’t anything useful so I decided to take a quiz to find out what I resembled. http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/new/meli123/what-inanimate-object-are-you/
My result
“You Scored as light bulb
Light bulbs are hot when they're on and dull when they're off. You are at your best when you are developing ideas. You stand out from your peers.”

I do suppose I really am rather like a light bulb; I brighten the room with my cheery attitude. The world would be a silent and lonely place without me, or at least I like to think that. I am also like a light bulb in another way, I always have good ideas, I bet you’re wondering what on earth I'm talking about but do you recall a day when there used to be Saturday morning cartoons? Whenever the main character had a good idea a light bulb would go *ding!* right above their head, that’s what I'm talking about 229 words.

bored?

Hey, I do suppose I have already blogged the requirement so I may as well try to better society right? Is that what you’re thinking? I bet it is…

So! Since I’m still bored and I bet some of you are too, (if you’re not the teacher) I’m going to benefit you by making a list of all the things you could/ should be doing now…

3 Wax the ceiling

4 Moonwalk forewords

5 Shave the cat

6 Test Einstein’s theory of relativity (with a loaf of bread)

7 Go snowboarding, if you are a skier, loose one of your skis (pretty simple right)

8 Join a political party

9 Throw a political party (be sure to invite the Republicans)

10 Jump over a fire hydrant (pointless right? WRONG!)

22 Ready… aim… MASS-PAPER-SNOBALL-FIGHT!!!

23 To clean up shoot baskets with the paper balls (into recycling)

26 Rake it to clean up the clippings

27 Get a moped

28 Get a moped license

29 Go moped-ing across America!

30 Then into Canada to visit the WGA

I will definitely be back tomorrow after school to add more

A journey i intend to take (and a post i intend to write)

I believe that we all need to go on our own little journeys every so often.

No, this is not another "this I believe" paper but I do believe I should have written about this instead. I know a journey that I need to take would be to go to Europe, just to see the differences between there and America. I’ve heard that they have McDonalds there which I would love to try because there are some in France that aren’t fast food restaurants but actual sit-down fancy dinner places. (I wonder if the burgers still get reheated). Another thing I would want to do in Europe is visit one of those old fancy castles that stopped attracting tourists and is now being used for paintball stadiums. it would be so fun to participate in one of the worlds biggest paintball tournaments. There is more that I would love to see and do across the seas that I do not have time to do, therefore I must go.

blog expectations

My name is fin. this is my super cool blog, which i will personalize and make my own (but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). i will always use appropriate language on my school blog follow the conventions of the English language.
the expectation for this assignment is that i post on this blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. i am expected to comment on texts that i am viewing in the world around me. these include but are not limited to; books, magazines, movies, internet articles, television shows,trips to mars, ect.
each post should be 200 words. each weekly post is due by 8am Wednesday. therefore Q1 dates are: 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29. that makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. i understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holistically (this means no rubric) i also understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what i have just typed is only 196 words! now it is 200! and 202!
