7 Things that bug me about people

#1: People who point at their wrist while asking for the time  . . . I know where my watch is, pal, where the H-E-double-hockey-sticks (I do not and will not curse) is yours?? Do I point at my crotch when asking where the toilet is? 


#2: People who are willing to get off their bums to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the volume or channel or whatever manually. 


#3: When people say, "Oh, you just want to have your cake and eat it, too!" Darn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it? 


#4: When people say, "It's always the last place you look," of COURSE it is. Why would you keep looking after you've already found it? 


#5: When people say while at the movies, "Did you see that?" No, Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the dang floor. 


#6: People who ask, "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya? 


#7: When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?" IF the bus came would I still be standing here, dumb-a? 

Now you know the things that seriously bug me about people. I mean, use your brains, fellas! We all have one, though unfortunately some of us don't deserve it - because we never use it! Hope you got the message.     

Question of the Day

If you read the title you know what this is about. From now on I'm going to post a random question every day, and you either can answer it in your comments, or look at it and ponder, or ignore it completely. Whichever you prefer; it's a free country. These questions can range from random to silly to just being philosophical musings, or even a homework question that I'm stuck on and hope you guys answer, but I won't tell you which ones are the philosophical questions and which ones are simply my homework (that's what brains are for, people). So now I leave you with today's Question of the Day:


Is there a synonym for the word 'synonym'?

Why I love Fridays (not the restaurant) and why you should, too

I'm gonna be short and to the point here. Here are my reasons for loving Fridays (who doesn't, right?) and why, if you're dumb enough not to like Fridays, then legit reasons for why y'all should.


#1: Fridays come before two-day breaks from school, aka the WEEKEND and who doesn't love Saturdays and Sundays?


#2: This is the only day of the week when you don't have to think of the mountain-loads of homework waiting for you to be finished. Save it for Saturday. Or Sunday night, whichever you prefer. After I get home from school on Friday, I let my mind wander far far away from anything school-related and just let myself chill. Maybe I'll have an extra snack, or go lie on the sofa all warm and cozy and watch hours of mindless television. Or maybe I'll cuddle up in bed with a good book*. Whatever it is, I'm NOT thinking of school. Ever. It's the one rule I have for myself on Fridays, because everyone needs time to relax. It's good for you.

#3: Friday night=movie night. Need I say more?

#4: Friday afternoons, you finish school, come home and take a nap, without the worry of having to finish your homework after you wake up, like you do if you ever take naps on weekdays.

#5: My last and probably best reason for loving Fridays. WHO DOESN'T LOVE FRIDAYS?????? COME ON, PEOPLE, BE SERIOUS HERE. IT'S THE DAY BEFORE THE WEEKEND!!! YOU HAVE TWO WHOLE DAYS TO JUST CHILL!!! AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. LIKE WRITE. OR READ. OR BLAST YOUR MUSIC. OR PARTY. OR THINK ABOUT HOW COMFORTABLE AND WARM AND HAPPY YOU'LL BE WHEN AND IF YOU FINALLY GO TO BED AND DON'T HAVE TO WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING.

Well I hope you're convinced.


*If you guys did not notice this asterisk before, go look back on #2. I put it there for a reason. It's right after the word "book" and that's because sometime later I'm gonna post a blog on some of my favorite books to cuddle up with in bed. Or just fave books in general.



Um, well, I'm done for now. Tootle-loo!

Random Dieting Tip

No, I'm not advertising any product or "magical dieting trick" or anything. I just want to share a simple diet tip with you today that I discovered. I know, it's random. But I couldn't think of anything else to put on here, so I thought, hey, why don't I put something that will actually be a benefit to people reading this blog? So there you have it. 


Hopefully, you guys know the gist, right? Basically, you have to create a calorie deficit by eating a little less than what you'd normally eat, and burning extra calories through exercise. Mind you, it doesn't have to be strenuous exercise. It could merely be a simple hour's walk or something equivalent to that. Of course, if you're a serious athlete, (or a wannabe serious athlete) then go right ahead, I'm not discouraging you. But for the average person who's lazy like I am, then READ THIS. 


You start your day with a healthy breakfast. Examples include, but are not limited to: oatmeal, cereal, two pieces of whole-wheat bread with something on them, a glass of milk. It also helps to have a side helping of an omelet fried with minimal oil because they're very filling. Next, you go to lunch. Lunch can be a sandwich with a side of fruits, or vegetable, etc. And then I often have a mid-afternoon snack because I tend to get hungry. And then you eat your regular dinner. My meals often go like this: I eat the most at breakfast, eat a little less for lunch, and eat the least for dinner. The time when you're allowed to "pig out" during a diet is breakfast, because trust me, it is the most important meal of the day. You need the energy, and plus, it helps to get your metabolism going.


Sounds like a regular day, right? Here's the secret: Before every meal (except breakfast)  drink a minimum of  three glasses of water. That way your stomach becomes full very quickly and thus you tend to eat less. An extremely bad habit of people is waiting to eat until they are starving. That is never a good idea. If you eat when you're extremely hungry, then you tend to overeat, and if you repeat this, then, well, you can't actually blame it on your body's slow metabolism. 


Well, that's my simple tip. Of course, it sounds simpler than it really is, because all the while that you're eating to keep yourself healthy everyday, you also have to restrain yourself from bad foods like chips, candy, etc, etc. You've heard it all before so I'm not gonna repeat it. If you get hungry, either drink some water, or take a low-calorie snack like fruit or yogurt. And of course, make sure to sneak in somewhere in your busy schedule that hour's walk. Your favorite songs are actually really good at getting you motivated to do the whole hour. Or at least a half an hour, if you're feeling sluggish. But note that exercise, once you start, increases your stamina. 


Disclaimer: I am not a professional nutritionist or your physician or anything like that, so don't take these words to heart. This is my blog so I'm just sharing what I discovered and what works for me so I can stay healthy without having to spend my time neurotically exercising and not eating (bad, bad, bad, don't do) and everyone's different with different types of bodies, so not always everything will work out. Consult a physician before starting anything new.


Geez, I just sounded like a commercial for a new drug. Don't make me say that again. If ever I do give any more advice on health issues, be sure that the disclaimer above is implied, okay? I DON'T want to say that again. Gosh. 

Why I haven't blogged in a very long time

Okay, I realize I haven't blogged for some time. Well hello, people. I have a life, you know that. I'm a high school junior (big age reveal) so what can I do? All that nonsense and stress about SAT's and college and whatnot, well, it's finally here. And I am positively FREAKING OUT about everything. Only slightly exaggerated.


That's one reason I haven't blogged for some time. Another reason is this: I didn't get the point of blogging. Yes, I realize that I made a blog, but seriously, it was purely on impulse. I didn't know you actually had to follow through with it EVERY SINGLE DAY of your life like you people do with your gazillion 'friends' on Facebook (I don't have a Facebook, by the way. I get my info from the stories I hear, and some of them are actually true, sadly). Here's the fact, plain and simple. I made a blog just so I could say that I have a blog. Nice, right?


That was another reason. Here's my third (three is the magic number!) and final reason: I haven't blogged because firstly, I made this blog on pure impulse, and secondly, because I made the blog very impulsively, I later went back and thought, "What's the point of having a blog if I have a diary?" Yes people, here's another big reveal: I have a diary. And I actually write in it, too. Not always, but sometimes. But then on Sunday I went to my cousin's house, and she said, well, you could blog about the stuff that you write about in your diary that you don't mind sharing, or just random stuff that you might not always write in your diary." And I was like, "Oh yeah, you're right."


SO that's the reason why I started blogging now, and why I haven't been blogging before now. But I still don't get how there would be people out there who would be willing to 'follow' blogs and be nosy and read up on stuff about random things that happen in other people's lives. People you might not even know. I guess it's just for the fun. Heck, well I'm not complaining, though if I keep continuing like this I might soon be complaining of cramped fingers from typing so hard and fast. Well anyway, that's my blog for today. See you soon!
