Wow. It has been a long time. Alot has changed. But i don't really feel like blogging fully now.
What i will say though is when did xanga change so much.
And when did facebook become our generation's social preference?
I understand the allure of facebook (obviously since i use it. ALOT), but it's so impersonal. We put silly comments on people's walls and don't really care about them. I remember i used to love xanga because it impersonally connected you with someone. You got to know what they thought. Now we just find out what they are doing.
On another subject. I love how glenn beck gets black people and latino people to tell him he's not a racist after he says something that's clearly racist, and then ask them if he is one. Because you know, if one black/latino/asian person says you aren't a racist, you aren't.
Ann Coulter is soooooo crazy. But she's awesome in the most crazy of ways.
It's late and i am up because i had to do a ridiculous assignment that was actually really interesting and not at all ridiculous.
I love how people on fox news (especially) and other new shows on cnn and msnbc paint themselves as being out of the mainstream media, and point at the "media" as supporting certain candidates and not being impartial. It's funny because they all report the same stories and they are all pointing their fingers at eachother...
Wow, it's late because my punchlines are more like taplines. They are really bad....
It feels nice to blog, even if it's about things that are really inane. I've missed this writing for pleasure thing that i used to do. ALOT. I remember the summer between either sophomore and junior year or between junior and senior year. I used to love to blog all, all, all the time. And i wouldn't update until i had at least 20 comments. Wow, how the times have changed.
Then i remember when xanga became somewhat less cool and i would wait till it got to double digits. Well, i guess i technically kept up my rule that it has to be double digits. But i wonder, will it be another 9 months until i accumulate enough comments to update again.
Seriously glenn, rev. wright again. GET THE HELL OVER IT. He isn't running for president. I understand that he had an impact on him, but seriously, i think the story is dead.
Also, where does glenn beck find all of these conservative jews. Seriously. (partially a joke for those of you who are offended)
Maybe i would blog more regularly if i just watched Glenn Beck's show every night and responded to the dumb crap that he says. And nancy grace too.
Yay for rambling.

| So High School is offically over. It feels to wierd to say that. It feels wierd that I'll never go to another class, never go the ATHS library, never go to another large team tournament, and worst of all i'll never get to enjoy those 50 cent lunches ever again. It feels strange. I remember when i was so excited about high school ending that i couldn't wait, and sure i am pretty excited about what my future holds, but there is still so much that i am going to miss and there are still so many things that i feel like i've missed out on these past four years. I guess we all miss out on different expericences, but sometimes i wish i could trade in a night of studying for a night of partying... and then other times i'm completley happy with how things turned out. It's a little crazy to think that next year i'll be starting college. I'm excited about it, so excited that there are times that it takes my breath away just imagining it; but there are also times when i'm nervous and frightened of what's to come, so much so that i can't breath. I guess that it's just me overthinking and over-hyping things up (something that i'm prone to do), but really what else can i do but wait. I'm excited about this summer, hopefully i'll get to spend time with the people that are important to me, and do things that i enjoy doing. I'll be starting my first job in a few days, and that's something that i am completley excited about, if not very much afraid. Logic tells me not to worry too much, but i can't help but think that i'll fired on the first day for being a clutz and burning the whole place down or messing up a really important copy. Eh, i guess i'm overthinking again. I remember when i started this xanga, or shall i say when Meredith started it for me. I was so different back then, but i was also very much the same person i am now. My interest have shifted slightly, but they're still there, i guess they are just more refined now. My hobbies have changed a little, but not too much (i still am a television addict who's dream job would be to work at tvguide). Over the past 2 years since i've had this, and especially over the past 4 years i've changed and i've grown, but i'm still me. And i think, more than anything, is that i haven't changed that much, now i'm just more comfortable with who i am; an emotionally dead-sarcastic-culture obssesed-music liking teenager. And that's something i'm happy with. G.Penn | | |
| Is this just a way to fufill our narcissistic tendencies?
Read your subscriptions and see what i mean. G.Penn | | |
| With applications done, and most of them complete (waiting on one freakin recomendation to get through), it seems that i am finnally at ease. And then i remember that i actually have classes and clubs that i still partake in. Eh... i'm enjoying it while it last because i know i'm going to miss speech, the library council, nhs, band and those meetings i go to on tuesday which feel more like time to talk and hang than an actual club. Tomorrow is our tournament, and god i hope it goes well. I think, or at least pray that it will.... i hope hope hope. Churchill was extremley fun. As always it's true, the better the competition the better i do. I think my speeches in congress were 500 times better than the speeches i gave at magnolia. I'm finally learning to smoothly intergrate other's arguments into my own speeches. I think from now on i will never give an authorship speech, i'll just go straight off of others args.., it seems easier and really gets the 'juices' flowing. With that being said, churchill extemp for me... at least finals was one of the worst speeches i've given since nationals. That round was not fun. San antonio seems to be a nice town, i wonder if i can see myself living there. Scholarship time. I'll savor these last few months as much as i can. Because sadly, once they are gone they are gone. G.Penn (Oh also, i kinda realized that i'm a little "emo". Which i'm fine with, but it's just odd because i realized it. But then what does it mean to be "emo". And since i don't think i'm a big fan of labels then why label myself.) | | |
| Finnally break is here. It's pretty scary to think that i only have one more semester of school left. I can't believe it's almost over. Scary. College apps while scary, are finnally getting in. I know i am super slow to get them done, but at least i am getting them done. My deadline is December 25. Everything must be in by the. Sure that's only 5 days away, but hey at least i'll finnally be done. I'm going to the mueseum next week, so if anyone wants to come... SAT scores are out tomorrow. I am so scared. Hopefully, Hopefully, Hopefully my scores went up. I really hope they do. I need to relax. This break will be good for me. G.Penn | | |
