20 Things About Me That Have Changed Since I Entered School

What's better to start off a school post than an autumn picture!
Click for fullsize because there are a lot of little details that'll make you smile.
Artist: AreniXC
The title is the topic. This is an idea that was brought forth by Dapner! We'll both be doing this today, so if hers isn't up, just stick around for it (No, I do not know how to edit, I only know how to strikeout.. IT'S WORTH IT!!. I hope :p.
HERE I GO!!!
20 things about me that have changed since I entered grade 9!

1. I've tried harder in school assignments.

Lol. I'm not lying, for once, I actually spent real time working on my assignments, followed instructions carefully and looked both ways before crossing. Let's hope this goes on for the rest of the year, shall we?
2. Jazz band. Practice. Every day.
Half-true. After my first real class of jazz band I freaked out and went into some weird state of anxietyyyy. Then I decided to practice at least 30 minutes a day.. Followed it alright, but I usually just practice the day before my classes. Listen to more jazz, follow carefully, and sharpen my senses so I can keep up. It's not easy still..
3. RESPONSIBILITIES. I HAS THEM.
This one.. -cough- I guess it works. I've been doin' my job as a grade 9. Y'know, kicking around grade 8's and stuff. Nah! I'm joking. I'm guessing this one goes along with number 1 since I have more to do now.
4. School activity, I tries.
Today, I signed up for a club. NO! IT WAS NOT JAX (Japanese Exchange) OR ANIME CLUB. THAT'S RIGHT! I joined a real club, formally, didn't just say that I was part of a club and never went to the first meeting (JAX LOL). I signed up for newspaper club, but I'm still not sure what I'll be doing there. My sister started the original club with her friends, so I thought it'd be something nice to try out.
5. Effort. I applies it.
This one is more self-explanatory. Yes, I tried in P.E. today. It was more of a free block but yes, I've been trying. This one ties with 3 and 1 because I'm not sure what else to say before I start spouting the nonsense.
6. I GO TO DAPHNE'S HOUSE EVERYDAY. 
~NONSENSE STARTS HERE~
7. I only whistle jazz tunes in school. 
This is pretty right. I don't whistle other stuff now..(trolololololololol~)
8. I've experienced the wondrous course mix ups!
'Shit is WHACK! I didn't know that it would result in me sitting in foods awkwardly when I thought I'd be leaving. Btw for anyone that wants to know, my foods teacher didn't even notice that I was the kid that said thanks and goodbye last class, when I left class, she said "See ya, have a nice weekend!" and I felt someone satisfied.
9. I've started reading a book.
THAT'S RIGHT. YOU HEARD THE WORD "READ" FROM ME!!
This one I can't explain well because the book I'm reading isn't really a book and I just stopped reading manga in school because I don't know why. I'm probably going to pick up a manga book and start reading somewhere..Next month :).
10. I have no creativity.
I call this "maturing" because I really can't think of anything interesting about me to say anymore. Somebody shoot me.
11. I HAVE NO COMEDY!!
WHERE IS THE FUNNY?!

12. I sleep later than I did last year.
This is just a bad habit of mine, I sleep around 1AM. May fix it later in year :|.
I suck at this
13. I'm writing in pen a lot more often.
I'm guessing it's because some teachers require me to write in pen now. For the most part, I just like to use my HONEST BEAR PEN!! :3.
"From small beginnings came happiness in your everyday"


14. I've been slapped at least once by Daphne or Kirsty everyday.
Sometimes I just want to curl into a ball and roll into a underground burrow. Probably under a tree. But, you know what they all say about abusive people, "They probably have their own insecurities that reflect on their actions." YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT GUYS, I'MA THROW THAT ONE AT YOU!!
15. I have gotten better at acting smooth. 
This is an utter lie, if you believed it my "smooth-ness" it has probably reached somewhere deep, probably in your brain where it'll nestle and multiply like BACTERIA!!
(This is why I shouldn't have been in foods lvl1)

16. I'VE GOTTEN VERY SHORT.
Was I always this short? Or maybe the grade 8's are just very tall this year? Maybe I'm delusional~ I've also discovered that being short is not a bad thing. Rather, it's a good thing... I hope everyone gets into some situation where they have to crawl in a small space that'll leave me to a big advantage and let them DIE!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA.
I'm reading Daphne's (fuck, I'm not linking anymore.) post and seeing what I can copy ^o^. 
17. I swear a lot more now, it's not even something I do consciously XD.
Not joking about this. Even in class. I kick a ball at 10 people. "OH SHIT!". Students giggle, teacher giggles. EVERYONE'S A FUCKIN' GIGGLING GIRL. 
Ex. ^above^
18. I've discovered my "improv" skills.
I'm going far and wide, everyone. Going on the big screen and Broadway, like EVERYWHERE THAT MATTERS.

19. I listen to Daphne's discussions and it effects me very positively.
Daphne, let me tell you something.
20. I've lost the meaning of life.


Someone kill me. Now.


Here's a picture of some Timmy HOOOO's that I drank this evening.
It was some sort of.. Butter Caramel Smoothie? I like the cup sleeve the best.
Cheers y'all. See you tomorrow.

The Regular Route Home

Not my route home but you get the idea :). Artist: Amys
For the first time in about 3 months. I took my almost regular route home from school. No, I'm not talking about the one where I go to Daphne's house to free load, but my bus route. I walk down the street from school, wait at the bus stop, and enter a usually crowded bus which takes me to my next stop, the sky train station. From there, it's another bus transfer, but the most interesting part of my daily trip is the wait at the sky train station. I see so many different types of people, today kinda refreshed my mind. There're a lot of kids my age, weird looking kids, teens that don't look like kids, kids in uniforms, rebellious kids talking about skipping class and smoking while they're at it. In general, it's not just that, I kinda forgot that there were more people in this city than me and who I know. Maybe I should start taking the bus more often.
Here's a picture for some visualization, I'd be sitting down the right, on one of the benches.


Also that you get the occasional old person that'll sit next to you and strike up a conversation, usually not about much. One story I like to over tell was when this old man was talking to me and he asked how old I was. I replied with "I'm in grade 8". Then he said, "Oh..So you're going to university soon?" LOL. IT WAS A LOL MOMENT. Walked some ways home after that, found some GIGANTIC SHROOMS. LIKE SERIOUSLY!! 20cm BY DIAMETER. GROWING ON SOMEONE'S FREAKIN' LAWN. I have a picture on my phone but I can't really get it onto my computer.. Damn. 
Anyways, I got locked out of the house so I had to get a spare key. Dammit, third damn time I've been locked out. It's not really being locked out since I just forget to bring my goddamn keys, but the first time was the most pitiful because my brother found me infront of the door crying.. I sat there for 2 hours..

I know I've been talking about course changes all week and stuff, but now I've been informed that we won't get our new schedules until Monday. Wtf??? I thought it was going to be my last foods class the day yesterday, so I even told the teacher "I probably won't be here next class, so I'd like to thank you for teaching me these few days."
Now I'm going to go to the class tomorrow all awkward and be like "...Hi..." Give a bad smile sit down and CRY!!!!!!!
Good night y'all. I'm going to finish up some typesetting and go to sleep.

Here's a picture of a train station, I looked around and found like 3 other good candidates but this one is really cute.

Nostalgia's Way




Here's some sunset picture since it's the end of the day. Artist: Mifumoto

I originally wanted to talk about time travel and stuff like that, but I figured it would take research and fuckin' hell no am I going to spend more time researching on stuff like this. 
Sorry for misleading you.
Just to continue with my post about Burning Qu'ran's and Terry Jones. I read an article about students from Iran threatening to kill Terry Jones. I SUSPECT THEY'LL CHOOSE TO KILL HIM WITH FIRE.
I'm wondering how I can spice my blog up. Sometimes I think when I say the things I write, it makes them a lot more interesting. But I don't think vlogs would do that well either. I don't know where I'm leading my blog anymore. Not sure how many misleading blogs I'm going to write either.
Sometimes I just like to tune out of everything and think about what the fuck am I exactly doing. Why am I trying? Why aren't I trying? Why is everyone trying? Why am I at school?
I don't always find a good answer but if not, I'll make an excuse for myself.
THIS BLOG POST SUCKS.
I have officially begun about nothing and will end in nothing. I don't even want to talk about school anymore. There is nothing to talk about. I'm starting to wonder if I thought I would have anything to write about when I took Daphne's daily blog challenge.
My blog post isn't going anywhere today and I have no picture compilation to show you. Oh. Wait a bit..
I'd like to talk about my evolution as the Christa I am today, and my past music taste.
Lol, this is a weird topic because I didn't think about it until I heard that Julian Casablancas from The Strokes released a solo album today. I'm very late, I know. But I remember the old days when my favourite artists were: The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, and.. Feist (Vampire Weekend later too, I think). I don't know, I used to like rap a lot too. This was all in grade 6. Grade 6 was a weird year for me, I liked to act very mature and had a cool taste in music and I liked to be "outgoing" and hang out with people which were usually my older grade fr..iends? I don't know anymore. There was also a time when I really liked Elliot Smith and this folk singer.. I forgot his name. I went through bands like um, those plastic bags you use for garbage storage -cough-. I still listen to The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys' old stuff now and then, but it's rare and I don't think of them much. Seems like this turned out to be quite a long post. I'll end this with one of my favourite songs by Arctic Monkeys because their music gives me a nice nostalgic feeling and Alex Turner's voice is so cool.

Goodnight, world!


Well, this was a nice trip down nostalgia. I don't regret anything and I'm continuing to move on. And since live is always cooler (DOES NOT ALWAYS APPLY TO POP BANDS), here is the live version of "Fluorescent Adolescence". The reason why I don't listen to them often anymore is because their newest album and single SUCKED ):. They changed quite a bit media has caught onto them.

Arakawa Under the Bridge × Bridge

Nino-san! From the first OP of Arakawa. Artist: Hou

Hey guys, for once, I woke up this morning. Knowing exactly what I wanted to write. YES THAT'S IT! ARAKAWA UNDER THE BRIDGE SEASON 2!!
I'm talking about this because I found the trailer for the second season today, and it features Hoshi playing strumming a guitar the wrong way and producing good sounds...And it's live action. -cough-. I'm wondering if I should explain Arakawa in a nut shell. Well, to anyone that will read this I might as well explain (excluding Daphne, that is). It's about this tighassed guy that has a family rule. That rule is to never be indebted in someone, but one day he comes close to drowning in a river and a young girl comes to his rescue. He then realizes that his whole life is indebted to her because she is the reason he is living at the moment. So he lives under a bridge with her.. And they're sort of a couple lol. It's awesome because of side characters though.



Since I went on a pointless rant yesterday, I'm going to tone it down today. I don't have much to say apart from the fact that my courses STILL weren't changed and I fell asleep while watching a video about HOW TO CUT A FREAKIN' ORANGE. LOL. Nice subject when we're talking about safety rules, really. I see the relevance but you know, everyone else is thinking the same thing.
I shall put this up:



Is this a "Just Talking" post?
I'm just talking to myself now ._. .
I'm going to have to fill up some space for another 20 so lines so I can put in a RHCP song as a joke relating to arakawa under the bridge, (huh? You don't get it? Maybe you're just UNCULTURED TEHFACE).
Good lord, I hope no one reads this besides Daphne.
To anyone that is reading this and not Daphne, I would like to know why you're here, please tell me in the comments, because I don't know why you'd be here. Really.
It is 12 AM and I need to get some things done before I go crash on my bed and turn into a piece of concrete.
I know this is not 20 lines yet but I don't like to force things to come out of my blog, that isn't right. (I do this every other day.)
Good night, world. And I shall leave you with a Red Hot Chili Peppers song called: "Under the Bridge" (I LOVE THIS SONG.)

DAPHNE, LISTEN TO THIS, THIS SONG IS AWESOME, THIS BAND IS AWESOME-ER!



I stopped bothering to edit my posts lol.

Rant-terrific!

This picture is my desktop picture. I don't know the artist though, great picture that should be admired in full size. 

I don't know how to compose on the spot. I need time. I can't just write out of nowhere. Not even knowing my topic. MY TITLE IS EMPTY RIGHT NOW! THIS IS GOING TO BE A HORRIBLE POST!

Is what I'm thinking right now.
I feel like there is never a moment when I DON'T talk or rant about school. Even in my past post where I talk about 9/11 and Terry Jones. In the end I always end up talking about school. Which brings me to think that I'm a boring person, since all boring people end up talking about the school or weather. Too bad the weather was shit so I have nothing to say about it. I don't like rainy days because the clouds make me think of how everything is so unclear and fogged up, I don't like that. -cough-
Today, I shall rant. Let me start with the saying: "Everyone is different."
BULLSHIT! I always like to talk about this when I get the chance to, this line is so extremely ironic I can't even start. I like it when people say this in school because school is full of teens who are unaware of who they are and all end up acting the same damn way. I don't even think that we're different anymore. Just something like mindless drones just automatically waking up at 7:30AM everyday and carrying on with the "usual" school routine. Don't give me that bullshit about us having our own personalities and details. In my opinion I think we're all doing the same thing and all have the same thing running through our mind at one point of a day. I actually don't mind that since unity is supposed to be a good thing, and if we're all united and thinking of the same thing then there should be less complaints and problems. BUT NO! Some dumbshit is going to protest even though they agree just for the hell of it. I don't know what I'm talking about right now and I'm not sure why it was relevant to the beginning idea of my topic but my fingers have not stopped since I started thinking about this and I just want to rant some brains out.
THAT'S RIGHT! RANT SOME FUCKIN' BRAINS OUT.

Guy's I'm not angry and I'm not raging either. I like rants because they start at one end and end up right across the page, not even close to the first point. Which brings me to the topic of people WANTING to be like everyone else. Now this case if real funny. I mean, if you ARE like everyone else, why do you BOTHER trying to be that way? Is it important to be unique? Do we have to be different? Doesn't difference create problems? This just brings us farther from "world peace", right? I don't know, don't ask me. Rather, I'm asking myself these, but everything in the world is contradicting itself.
This is why we're all hypocrites. We're never going to be unique if we want world peace so I think the idea of world peace is just an idea as long as we're all "different". I think I could go on about this for years lol. Going back to the routine topic, our whole life is routine. Go to school> Get a job> Date > Get married > Have kids > Grow old > Get grand-children > Retire > Die.
To anyone that breaks this routine, I salute you, but that doesn't make you any more special. I don't know what I'm ranting about anymore because I'm no different and I have no right to say any of this. 
/rant end.
Good night.
That's right, not even an ending picture. I want you to go to bed and think about all these things, questioning yourself until your brain hurts. I'm not responsible for any suicidal attempts lol.
