I know, I don't always post, but it you look at my blog then I hope when I do it brightens your day.

I love to make people smile, as pessimistic as I can be, I truly love to make other people smile. I guess that's why I love to perform, it's a chance to brighten someone's day. Like my chorus director has said, every year he hears someone say they really needed to hear something that was in the Winter concert. Whether it's covering a song or making a makeup tutorial on Youtube or being on a stage in choir, I love to see the reactions people have.

At the Christmas concert this year, I had a solo, and when I first got on stage I felt nervous, but when I saw an older woman towards the front just smiling, in a way where she just looked like she was having a wonderful time listening to people sing, I felt a sudden rush of confidence.

If you have a chance to make someone smile, take it, the world will be a better place.

These Posts are Becoming More Frequent... Kind Of...

Ya, I'll be honest, I hardly go on this anymore, I like to write and I try to keep up, but I just kind of forget about Blogger/Blogspot until I see someone on Youtube talk about it.
I've had a somewhat crazy life anyways, I have a friend in the hospital, both presidential candidates sucked so I didn't really care about them, I have been very active in Chorus, and I've been taking an online course so that I can have 4 electives in school.
I'm in Chorus, Digital Arts, Latin II, and ROTC, which I want to leave ROTC oh so very badly.
I don't have a lot to say at this point, so I'll add a few pictures I made in Photoshop.

Group projects. What do you learn when your teacher places you with three of the dumbest girls in class and a guy you find annoying? Well, if you're anything like me, you relearn why you always do every project alone, and you learn that you could have easily completed the project alone.
In my English II Honors class we are reading Lord of the Flies and my group has to do a project on chapter seven. Since, for reasons unknown, most of the girls in my class are ditsy and obnoxious, I am the only smart girl in my group for the project. No, I am not being conceited, I am saying my intelligence by far surpasses theirs. When we were reading Fahrenheit 451 one of the questions on our pre-reading assignment was "Define censorship in your own words." This particular group of girls behind me were discussing the assignment and the dialogue was in the most sickeningly revolting voice "What's censorship?" "I think it has to do with your senses!" "You mean like taste? And touch?"
I kid you not, these girls are in my honors class. I have never been so disappointed to be an honors student.
Anyways, the project is split to where out of 100 points, 10 are a video, 15 are for vocabulary, 25 are for in depth notes, and 50 are for the essay.
We gave the three girls the job of the video, which between the three of them, they will probably shoot, and ask one of their dads to do the editing.
We were in class discussing how we would split up the work and the boy and I were trying to decide how the essay should be done and which of the two of us should write it.
As a girl with a Gothic style I get some unusual stereotypes. I swear, without missing a beat, one of the girls says to me "Something about the way you look makes me think you are a really good writer." Thank you teenage girls, for allowing me to lose my faith in humanity once again.

Since I Have Not Posted in Over a Month... My 10 favorite bands

I've been so busy so I apologize to the maybe one follower I have for not updating  in forever. Basically this is my life up until a week ago:
Sunday: Friends
Monday: All-State Practice
Tuesday: All-State Practice
Wednesday: All-State Practice
Thursday: Friends/Sleep
Friday: Swing dance
Saturday: Friends/Sleep.
Since I didn't make All-State that has freed up my schedule, anyways, I thought I'd make a list of some of my favorite bands. I think I'll limit the genre to just rock/metal. So here's the list:

10. Escape The Fate
There was a time when I would have placed them at #2 or #3, but because my friend has an obsession with Falling in Reverse I'm a little sick of Ronnie's voice. But I still love them and listen to most of their stuff.

9. The Cure
Of course I love The Cure. I put them at #9 because I listen to them a lot, but I don't know every song, I only have a couple albums by them on my computer. I adore them though

8. My Chemical Romance
My best friend and I have fond memories of walking the track when we were supposed to run and screaming "Teenagers" at the top of our lungs, they were #2 until they released the Danger Days album which I don't know how to describe it other than as an angry disco train wreck.

7. Scary Kids Scaring Kids
One of those bands I just couldn't NOT include. I love them I used to listen to them everyday on my way to school in 8th grade. I recently started listening to them again and I love the music. It's a shame they broke up, but they are forever loved by my ears.

6. Sleeping With Sirens
This is probably the newest band I've fallen in love with, a girl from school showed me them recently and I automatically loved them.

5. Senses Fail
This one recently made the favorites list, I've known them for a long time but just recently started listening to them a lot. They're an amazing band and the top 5 were hard to decide what goes where.

4. Billy Talent
I don't think there's been a Billy Talent song I didn't like. I love them so much, my best friend showed me this band and I was obsessed from the start.

3. Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (DRUGS)
This band was short lived but I loved them, I saw them in concert back in January and I still have the t-shirt. One girl threw a bra on stage and one of the band members put it on his head. They are amazing!

2. Pierce the Veil
This band makes me wish I'd gotten my permit earlier. They are my second favorite band and I can't see them when they come to Orlando this month because I have no way of getting there.

1. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
I saw this band at the first and only Vibe Fest which was a music/skating festival in my area. I got a high five from the singer that night and they are my all time favorite band, I seriously can't skip a song by them on my MP3 and even they're slow songs are really wonderful.

Grammar Dammit!

For those of you who I have never texted or spoken to, I hold grammar at a high priority. I usually can keep calm about "u" instead of "you" and "r" instead of "are" and if I'm desperate enough for conversation I'll put up with the forms of where, there, and your. My largest pet peeve about writing is when people don't even try to use the correct verb. Such as "and there isn't any relatable subjects" this is a quote from my ex. He was saying how I have bad conversation skills because I didn't want to speak about dry subjects. In my mind grammar and spelling are important in a conversation. Relatable is not a word. Relative is the correct word. And verb forms are very important to me, it drives me insane when someone says isn't when the correct verb form is aren't. I apologize for sounding a bit pretentious. I'm just obsessed with correct grammar. My mom told me she never baby talked me and I always spoke with excellent grammar. I guess you can root my obsession with correct grammar to my toddler days.
I feel like I've probably bored anyone who could possibly be reading this far, I apologize for my awful ranting.

My Weekend

This weekend I've had absolutely nothing to do. I didn't have any chores my parents gave me, it was storming so I couldn't go anywhere, and my friends were gone or busy.
So I did an English Project, a week early, which was a painting of my perception of Plato's Allegory of The Cave, I painted a folder for Chemistry because I had a bright pink one from Chorus last year, I did my Chemistry homework and extra work in Chemistry. During this I watched the full three seasons of Danny Phantom, which was amazing. And then I painted cups for change, pencils, and paint brushes. After that I thoroughly cleaned my room, which included sweeping it, reorganizing my drawers, cleaning my book shelf, and cleaning my closet.
This weekend was absolutely boring to the point of productivity. And now I've just wasted your time because you actually read this. I'm going to go do some more Chemistry. Good bye.

My Autobiography for Algebra

My teacher requested my class write autobiographies for class. Here's mine.

I'm Lexi and I have lived in seven states and I currently have two dogs, a fish, a brother, and my parental units. I am sixteen and I swing dance, sing, and thoroughly enjoy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mickey Mouse and love to read. That's the most interesting bit about me I'm willing to share with people I barely know, so I will finish my paper with a story about giraffes.

One day, Tom the giraffe was eating grapefruit with his friend Paul. Paul didn't like grapefruit though so he asked Tom what the joy of grapefruit possibly could be. Tom was appalled by the thought of one not loving grapefruit. He broke into a song and dance routine about grapefruit and its tangy tart flavor with its beautiful red color and sticky juice. Paul was beginning to grasp the concept of Tom's love for grapefruit and then Tom convinced Paul to fall in love with grapefruit by telling him that it was packed with nutrients like Vitamin C. Then the singer from the 90s who no one actually remembers named Vitamin C came out and sang one of her songs and Tom and Paul were two happy giraffes and flew off to find girlfriends because they were lonely.

What High Horse?

Today I received a lovely voice mail when I finally grabbed my phone. I'm sure of who it is leaving me these messages, but since they were reading my blog I'm a little disturbed, not by the fact that they were reading but by the fact they were so obsessed with me they tracked down my blog. I'm not that interesting, and I must say it's truly pathetic that they are wasting time to bother me, I mean it's so middle school and immature. And I'm not trying to seem high and mighty on my blog, I'm doing this to let people see my sarcasm and why I hate everyone. But they called me a scene girl, which I am not. It's sad they can't say it to my face either, I mean cowards, right? It's my life, I can do what I want and if they want to judge I don't care, they just need to have the balls to say it to my face. Then take what I throw back, I'm not afraid of people really. But if you are the one who stalked me enough to find my blog then please get a life, and forget about me, cause I truly don't care about you, in fact the only reason I'm writing this is to make sure that you get it across how PATHETIC you are. Well, you've wasted enough of my time. Please, do something productive and stop stalking me like the psychopath you are. Good bye.

Why I Haven't Been Posting

So, I feel like I should say something so I'll share. I haven't been posting because, well, there's absolutely nothing I've found to post about. My life has consisted of me going to the gym, doing chores, watching House, and hanging out with my friends. My boyfriend and I broke up but that's hardly worth reading about, I mean I haven't thought of anything really worth reading to write about.
I guess I could tell you the story of my extremely recent break up. I guess that gives you a story. Well, me and my now ex boyfriend hadn't seen each other for nearly a month because we just couldn't get together. And we were apparently arguing, which I was unaware was happening. And I learned that during a break up I begin making jokes. I at one point made a joke about my inexperience telling how all I knew was a few little snipits from Seventeen magazine.
I am an awful person to break up with. I don't take any relationship type thing seriously, I just can't manage the logic, or lack of logic, to find a relationship as something to take seriously.
Of course the first thing I thought of was "Why couldn't we have broken up before guys started hitting on me!" Really though I had guys trying to hit on my but I was like, "I have a boyfriend." So I was unavailable. Oh well, we live and learn.
That's about the most interesting thing going on in my life.

Rant to Cover the Last Ten Days

So, I've been on vacation with Grandma while my parents go all over Europe, I didn't want to spend my time at Grandma's I actually asked my mom if I could stay at my best friend's house if her parents would say yes, but it was too late by then. So, I have been stuck hanging out with my brother and Grandma, and it's been 10 days, I have a hard time dealing with this kind of stress because both of them anger me, but I have to behave.
Beyond them angering me, I've been completely annoyed by the alarm in my room, it beeps with an extremely high pitched beep 3 times and then says which door is opened. This isn't quiet either, it's extremely loud and obnoxious.
Along with that, the door for this room squeaks obnoxiously, and it wouldn't have bothered me if Grandma hadn't pointed it out. Which gives me a moment where I'm like "Why!?"
And another complaint, I share this room with 34 porcelain dolls. If you do not know me you don't know that porcelain dolls and puppets are really creepy in my mind. So having 34 stare at me all the time is really disturbing!
More to anger me, I am a pessimist, my grandma is VERY optimistic and peppy. The woman is 60-something and still has more energy than I do with a Monster and multiple cups of coffee. And then she complains about my mom a lot. All I've wanted to do is yell any time my mother comes up as a subject, but instead I zone out and scream in my head.
And a final complaint, my grandmother has eight, you read that right, birds. They're loud and messy, and I don't understand why she would choose birds, at the moment the woman has multiple scratches and a nasty bruise on her arm.
I'm just glad today I go home where I can see my friends and finally hang out with someone I'm not related to.

My 10 Favorite Cheesy Pick Up Lines

Hello world,  I am back. I guess today I'm going to write a series of goofy pick up lines, because I have nothing better to talk about.

• If you were a sharpie, you'd be super fine.
• Roses are red, violets are blue, if you were a Pokemon, I'd choose you
• I have a library card, mind if I check you out?
• Dangit, there's something wrong with my cell phone! (what) Your numbers not in it
• Are you a ticket, cause you got fine written all over you.
• Does this rag smell like chloroform to you? Oh I'm kidding, my name's ____
• I can't think of anyone better to hide with in a zombie apocalypse.
• You're like a dictionary, you give a meaning to my life.
• I'm a fermata! Hold me!
• If you were a Dementor, I'd become a criminal just to get your kiss.

Exam Week

Today I have two finals, Geometry and HOPE (which is just a gym class) I have had an insane year in both of these classes so I guess I'll share a few stories.
Geometry is probably my favorite class of the day, I know that sounds awful, but the people are crazy and the teacher is my favorite. I have had the most random experiences in this class. I have come in with poptarts and split the package with my teacher, I've had my class joke about something completely insane that I did, my teacher is an amazing teacher, he's one of the best I've had and this class I'm going to miss.
One day in Geometry, it was the day before a test so we had a study day, I remember putting my head down like I was going to sleep and my teacher says, "Lexi, shouldn't you be studying?" Naturally my reply was, "This is how I study," and he commented, "You have awful studying skills,"  to which a boy in class told him, "Yea, but she has the best grade in the class!" It was funnier if you were there. Another time he was talking to some other students about a surf competition happening that weekend and a boy began trying to convince his friend to go saying, "there will be a ton of girls." To which my teacher said, "There will be a lot of boys too!"
Another great story of my Geometry class, every Monday he asks how our weekends were, and the weekend before I had gone to see The Lorax with my friend and she drew on me, I went to school and when my teacher asked I said I fell asleep and my friend drew on me, he thought I fell asleep at a party.
Yet another, I told my teacher I was going to Disney world and Tampa one weekend when I was talking to him and he blurted out, not meaning it the way it sounded, but his exact words were, "Who are you sleeping with?" and he said it very loudly as I was sharpening a pencil, to which I fell to the ground laughing. I know the stories are kind of lame but the class was great and I'm going to miss it.
Now for HOPE. In HOPE I have my best friend Amanda, she and I are both in good shape and go to the gym plenty (although Amanda goes a lot more than me) and although we both are in good shape, our usual activity is walking, and avoiding doing real work. And we probably have some of the lowest grades in there to be honest. It's not that we're unfit, it's that we hate sports. She and I in gym are a dangerous combination, in seventh grade gym was where we met and we would walk around slowly with my MP3 player blasting Teenagers and yelling the lyrics, and we would crazily do whatever. Now we just have the weirdest conversations in class with our friend Liz who I call Beth half the time. We all swing dance and so in the middle of class we'll begin dancing out of nowhere acting completely insane, but that's us.
Well, I have shared some amazing class stories and I may share more at a later time, who knows.

Hello, I'm Sick

I'm back. I'm sorry for the whole thing with not being on much. I feel like crap today. I don't know how, maybe it's sharing food or being huggy with my friends, but I got sick. I find it hilarious that my best friend (and the other side of my brain) git the exact same problem though, sorry Amanda, we can laugh at each other's suffering.
Amanda and I are a lot alike though, we share a brain, I'm the right artistic side and she's the left mathematical side. One of our friends was texting and asked if we're always together, of course we are! If we weren't we'd die because we wouldn't be able to use half our brains.
And anyways, I don't know if it's a cold or really bad allergies but I will survive! I've finally moved back into my room too. I was staying in my dad's office because we're doing construction in my room, and we're almost done! Just  few little things in my room.
And I finally put all 40 pictures and drawings and paintings back on my walls. a few are grouped up, otherwise the number would be higher. I draw and paint a lot, I can't help it.
So, I've wasted enough of your time this lovely evening, good day.
And now I leave you with a picture of Homer Simpson being taken to a mental hospital.

Life Lessons From A Pessimist

so, since I have absolutely nothing else to do, I'll write a few things about life.

• Life sucks to a point.
• Life is a curse and a blessing, sometimes everything sucks, but others it's epic.
• When life gives you lemons add alcohol and have a party.
• Life is full of choices, take the weirder one, it makes life more interesting.
• Hair dye alone is a reason to live, having had my hair about 10 billion different colors, I would know.
• Life is gonna suck sometimes. Just put your middle finger in the air and fix whatever is broken.
• Life is short.
• Oh, and I'm pretty sure the meaning of life is chocolate.

That's about all the life philosophy  I have for you today. Bye.

My Coffee Brownies

I know I don't usually put up baking type stuff, as in recipes, but I felt like sharing this cause I've made it so many times. I'll be honest, it's based off a recipe I go online, but I made little alterations. This isn't my own creation, it's an altered recipe. Although I changed a good amount.
2 cups raw sugar or coconut sugar (or white sugar if that's what you have around)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup flour (all purpose taste best, but whole wheat works)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 instant coffee, depends on the taste you want

Melt the butter
Put it all in a bowl
Mix it together
Bake at 350
There's not an exact time, cause well, I've made them in small pans, wide pans, cup cake pans, so until it's thoroughly cooked. Test with a toothpick like they did in the old days.
Coffee is optional, but what loser is gonna leave it out...

Here's the original:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quick-and-easy-brownies/detail.aspx
Oh! And if you add something, tell me! I made these for my Latin class.

So. Tired. Fishies!

Dear World, I apologize for not posting. I have been super tired. I need a little inspiration. Leave me some comments. For now, here are some pictures of fish.

Bacon

As was requested, I put on my Facebook and asked my friend's what to write about. The unanimous choice was: bacon.
So, bacon...
I myself enjoy bacon, I'm aware it is a pig's flesh. I don't really care. I know my mom does not enjoy bacon. I'm just going to give a few facts about bacon.

• The Chinese started bacon as salting pork bellies in 1500 B.C. making it one of the oldest processed meats in history
• The oldest reference of bacon was in 1560
• Supermarket bacon bits are vegetarian friendly
• 70% of bacon consumed in the US is eaten at breakfast
• September 3rd is National Bacon Day
• Bacon is good for hangovers!
• There is a bust of Kevin Bacon that is actually made of bacon!
• Bacon is eaten at breakfast about 12 times year for each person!
• People over 34 are the ones who eat the most bacon!
• Nearly half of homes keep bacon at all times
• There are bacon flavored beers, vodka, and bourbon.
• Oscar Mayer patented the first packed and sliced bacon

Well, now you know some useless facts about bacon!
And I will write another blog later! Maybe tomorrow.

The Lexi Process of Getting Rid of Losers/Creepers/Miscellaneous Guys You Don't Want To Talk To

So, although I'm basically oblivious to flirting there's always that one guy I just don't want to be associated with that is practically (although occasionally literally) saying they are trying to flirt with you. Well, I have developed a fool proof process for someone you have only met recently or only talked to occasionally. Like Jennamarbles on Youtube has her face, along with several backup plans, I have my own process!

1. Be the nerdiest person on Earth: For some reason some guys are made nervous by nerdy girls, so something that I've seen work is naming unusual facts. Early, for example, I was talking to a guy, who actually said he was trying to flirt with me, and for everything he said, I had a fact, such as he used the phrase "etc." and I replied telling him it was a Latin phrase and what it means. A good place to learn unusual facts is a website I'm always on called omg-facts.com
   Warning: Being nerdy does not work for super nerdy guys!
2. Be overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING: When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. If you're breathing be enthusiastic about the oxygen! If you're listening to music, every song is your favorite song! You have to seem crazy about how much you love everything.
3. Be clingy: If you just met this guy, there's no better way to get rid of them than being extremely clingy! "How many kids do you want?" "Oh my gosh I want two kids too! We must be soul mates!" (I don't actually want kids, that is just an example) other good topics are: what pet you two should get, where you should get married, and where you should live. in order for this to work though, you have to be REALLY enthusiastic.
4. Be dramatic: I mean like if they say you have pretty eyes, then say "what, that's all, I guess my nose is ugly!" or some random complaint
5. Be mean/blunt/sarcastic: This is almost a go to for me in general with everyone, I use it regularly. If it's on your mind about them, say it.
6. Use the Jennamarbles technique: She has the face, she has the various actions, I quite enjoy her technique. Hers is better in person. I like mine for over Facebook or text!

Lexi's Rules For Idiots #1-20

I meant to post these a week ago, I just finally got to completing them.

1. Don't tell me about your relationship problems.
2. If I ever offend you, let me know, I may want to insult you later.
3. Don't talk about emotions with me. Ever.
4. Never show weakness.
5. Those who do show weakness can expect this opportunity to be taken.
6. I'm not your therapist. Shut up.
7. Never text me between 10 PM and 10 AM unless I text you first.
8. Stop talking about your feelings with me.
9. I'm single; don't ask me for relationship advice.
10. To quote House, “Everyone lies.” To explain my reasoning, don't tell me about how you're always lied to because everyone is lied to and I don't really care.
11. If something doesn't go your way, stop complaining to me and make things work for you.
12. Get off your butt and do something productive!
13. I'm blunt. Don't ask for my opinion if you don't want me to be honest.
14. Debates are fun, fights are not.
15. Don't tell me jokes when I'm in a bad mood.
16. Never be the one who put me in a bad mood.
17. If you're going to walk with me, walk faster because I don't like walking slowly.
18. I don't expect sympathy from you, why should you expect it from me.
19. I can insult you much worse than you can insult me.
20. If you think you have the upper hand, I will follow Gibb's Rule #16 and break it.

Breaking these rules may result in various outcomes, you're better off not testing any of them.

It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing

Hello world.
I'm sorry I've been so busy I haven't been writing much, anyways I  guess I'll talk about swing dance.
I recently started swing dance because my school has a club, I'm so glad my friend Paige did a demonstration in front of the class for extra credit, or else I may have never heard of it! If you don't know me you would know that I don't get into anything unless I really like it. I tried soccer, and that was okay, but not my thing, I did karate and still not my thing, I got thrown in chorus and fell in love with it, and now my new love is swing dance.
My friend Paige did a demonstration in front of the class for extra credit and  told my class that she went to Swing Club every Wednesday afternoon, I had never heard of the club and of course I would want to dance. I asked her about it and she told me I should come check it out so, of course, I did! I asked her for a ride home after and I was able to go. I went for the first time on March 28 and I've been flipped and tossed and done various other moves that I never thought I'd do! I am one of those people who hates participation. One time in club and I was hooked! I have gone to two of the swing nights at the Satellite Swing by my house, and I have gone to a few, I wanna say 3, Swing Club meetings at my school, it's so addictive!
So I guess this is kind of a public thank you to my friend Paige for introducing me to Swing!
Well, I will try to post my rules for idiots tomorrow! I would today but I made the list in school and forgot it in my locker!

A Story For You

Once, in a land far far a way, much like that in the movie Shrek, there was a crazy lion that turned people into bananas. Which after they became bananas were covered in peanut butter and consumed by this horrible creature. One day in the land of Magicalopia the town's lizards were upset with the lion because they lost about 8 lizards in a week, and this was a small town. So the town's lizards created a plan, they were going to create a decoy lizard out of fish sticks and the decoy would be a distraction. After the lion was distracted by the fish stick lizard, the town's mayor, a unicorn, would stab the lion with his poison candy cane horn and kill him.
Finally it was time for the plan to begin, it was a dark cloudy day and the mountain the lion lived on looked evil. It was about three in the morning and most of the town was asleep except the mayor and his minions. They slowly hiked up the mountain and opened the cave. Two of the minions were sent in with the fish stick lizard to begin distracting, and within minutes of the beginning of the plan the lion was attacking the fish stick lizard.
After the lion had begun to consume the fish stick lizard, and clearly did not have a free hand with all the peanut butter he had to use, the mayor attacked. He ran towards the lion and stabbed him in the head, neck, and chest with his poison candy cane horn. In the end the lion was dead. And Magicalopia was free once again.
Moral of story: Never Eat Soggy Waffles

Pop Music

So, I'm sure I'm going to anger someone by this post but I'm going to make a list of complaints for pop music.

• When did "lalalalala" become an emotion?
• How do you set fire to the rain?
• If you're telling her one time why are you telling her 27 times in one song?
• If someone is going to throw a grenade at her, then what made you think it was wise to be around her?
• Did you ever read Romeo & Juliet? Obviously you don't know how it ended.
• Why are fireworks shooting out of your boobs? I'm a bit disturbed by this...
• Really woman, he broke up with you, stop complaining, the sooner you get over him, the better!
• Maybe you shouldn't have let him get away... Don't sing complaining about it!
• Obviously no one listening to the crap you people are putting out is going to know who Mick Jagger is.
• Adele, once again, please, stop complaining, I'm sure there's a better guy.
• Stop that horrible song please, all of the people singing are usually not very sexy.

So, that was a short list, but I don't listen to pop music by choice, it's usually in a car when I'm stuck with it.
Also, why must steroids be illegal for athletes but a singer can autotune all they want.
My friend who listens to a lot of pop doesn't think anyone can really sing well anymore because they all use autotune. I'm sorry but when it gets to that point it's a little pathetic. I really hate autotune, and I want to drag her to my school and make her listen to the people in chorus because they can sing for sure. My choir isn't even an audition choir and we're by far better if you ask me. Especially since if you listen to a live Katy Perry performance she's so off tune it's scary.

Things I Will Never Get About Guys

So, this isn't exactly supposed to be me complaining, it's more me just saying that I don't get it. Alright, I'm complaining. But anyways, this is just a short list of stuff I always see with any guy.

• Why do you have to make sure I know you think my friend is hot? Even guys I've gone out with will point out a pretty friend, I don't get it, I don't want to hear about how my best friend has such a great butt. I don't really care!
• Why do you need to lie about what you've done? I've had guys try to say we made out, in all honesty, I've kissed two guys, yet guys I'm friends with (or not friends with) try to say we made out or we did something that never happened, why are guys gods to their friends if they're players? Girls call that being a slut!
• Why do you hide liking a girl? I'm probably the worst person to complain about this, especially since if they did a vision test for flirting, I'd be legally blind, I told my guy friend this and his response was, "I've known, you could have had so many boyfriends last year if you could see flirting." Now, as bad at picking up on flirting, I've actually had guys totally hide liking me. There was one guy who he and I hated each other for months, and one night at a youth group event he was following me around trying to be friendly, in my mind I was like, "what the heck!?" but later on that night on the was back to the church, he put his hand on my knee and said, "I've liked you since I met you." Of course naturally, my response was, "Hand. Off. Knee. Now." I should probably have been nicer, but in my mind I still hated him.
• Why do you pretend to like a girl who likes you? I've never actually experienced this one, but I always hear about friends complaining. It's really annoying, especially since I hate to hear that. Please, be honest.
• Why do you always ask how to do something? This I have plenty of experience on, to begin with my brother will be holding a box in his hand, with specific instructions, and he'll still ask how long on what temperature to cook something. Along with that, my ex once texted me asking how to make coffee, it's not difficult! Why can't you figure it out? I even once had the ex who asked how to make coffee, he asked how to write a thesis statement. He was a grade above me.
• Why are so many of you either jerks or pansies? I don't want to date a guy who treats me like crap, but I also don't want a guy who is more of a girl than me. If you cry during a movie, you're out. I can't even begin to list how many times I've had an awkward moment where I listen to music that is by far manlier than the stuff a guy listens to.

So, that's your little message from me. Good luck comprehending its awesomeness.

Spring Break

Hello Loves,
I apologize for not being on much this week. I have been oh so very busy with volunteering. I can't access Blogger/Blogspot on my phone, and so it's been hard for me to get online.
Although I've been out I will be Writing about spring break.
Here goes nothing!
-Lex
So for some odd reason people think they'll find their "true love" along with this they think they'll be non-stop partying and they'll be going crazy. I see none of this. In all honesty, spring break is usually extremely boring. I don't understand why people freak over it. Here we hardly do, possible because it's 24/7 on the beach. My week has been quite boring.
My spring break consists of volunteering with Mr. Science at my local rec center. I am not a kid person. I have been watching for serial killers at the front desk, an easy way to earn my hours. The most exciting thing I've done is make a duct tape "kick me" sign with some of the people I was working with. We also made a "junior counsilor" badge (yes, counsilor is supposed to be spelled wrong) and I claimed him as mine. I don't have much else to do. I had to find something, so naturally my day today consisted of making name tags, naming a kid a "junior counsilor" and watching for serial killers.
Unfortunately for you I must go, goodbye loves. I'll try to write again tomorrow.

25 Would You Rather Questios Survey

So, because I have no life and need something to write about, I am going to post my responses to a survey (I'll put a link at the end)

25 Would You Rather Questions

1. Lick a frog or lick a one dollar bill? Well, I don't want to like a one dollar bill because it's obviously been in a stripper's bra, and I do not want to know what else it could have made contact with. At least the frog would be covered in natural bacteria. So I would rather lick the frog.
2. Be a nerd and have friends that love you or be popular and have friends that hate you? Popularity is for losers, of course I'd rather be a nerd with epically amazing friends!
3. Dye your hair pink or eat raw hamburger meat? Since I wouldn't trust the hamburger meat in any way, and I've already fried my hair with so many colors of dye, I'd obviously choose to dye my hair pink, I mean I've already had a pink underlayer and teal streaks
4. Go naked to school all day or fail a semester? These both seem awful. I don't know which would be worse. I guess since I do have the option of taking classes online if I do fail, then I'm probably better off failing a semester.
5. Have a nice nerdy boyfriend or have a hoot jerk boyfriend? Jerks like popularity, who wants that!? I would rather the nerd! I mean really, unless they were a pansy, then I'd rather not date.
6. Have swine flu or not be able to move for a year? Is this really a question, of course I'd rather have swine flu. I am far too ADHD for not being able to move!
7. Be a hobo or be in jail for a year? My dad's nickname from when he was a kid was hobo. I would rather be my dad.
8. Have a random one night stand or have to take a homeless man anywhere he wants to go for a year? I'd hang out with the homeless man! That would be great!
9. Wear overalls for a month or not take a shower for a month? They'd both be equally horrible. I guess I could accessorize the overalls better, and not have to deal with greasy hair.
10. Not be able to google or not be able to sleep for one day? I'd take the freaking 24 hour challenge of no sleep! I could do that!
11. Have to be on crutches to get around or have to kiss the grossest guy you know? I know some gross guys, I'd rather be on crutches.
12. Have to read a 500 page book in 1 day or have to do 500 pages of civics work in 1 day? I already read for fun, of course I'd rather read! I mean Ellen Hopkins and J.K. Rowling write 500 page books! That I can do!
13. Watch a marathon of mash or have to watch the food network all day and not eat? Not eat for a day... The horror! I'd rather watch the marathon of the show I know nothing about
14. Be in a movie or help the needy? The needy, movies cause fame, and fame doesn't seem like fun. There's no privacy, and I'm actually quite private.
15. Build a house or eat a worm? Can I cook the worm? Or at least kill it? Who am I kidding, I'd rather eat the worm, I'm far to lazy to build a house.
16. Create a survey or create a poll? Am I seriously getting this as a question? I guess the poll because it's a matter of asking a multiple choice question.
17. Not be able to talk to the opposite sex for a year or be in your room for a year? Since I already prefer to stay in my room most of the time, I'd probably prefer to be stuck in my room.
18. Not able to watch tv or not able to listen to music? I barely watch TV as it is! I'd rather lose my TV.
19. Have to drink orange soda for the rest of your life or just eat pasta for the rest of your life? Since I don't really like pasta, I'd rather the soda, although I hope I'd be able to drink water every so often.
20. Go to college or go to the marines? Obviously I'd be better off in college. I'd pick that.
21. Get married or have a baby? Can I just say neither? No? I'd rather get married. No offense to those of you who love children, but I'm not a kid person.
22. Launch a website or be a CEO of a company? I'd rather be working on a website, it seems like more fun.
23. Not be able to watch your favorite movie or not be able to watch your favorite show? I'd probably choose not watching my favorite movie.
24. Be able to play an instrument or be a star for nothing? I'd rather be able to play an instrument, I like my privacy.
25. Not be able to eat chocolate or not be able to drink coke? I love chocolate, I can easily live without coke. I would definitely keep the chocolate. I am a girl, chocolate is good. Chocolate is beautiful.

What I HATE About Texting

Today, I feel like making a blog post about what I hate about texting. Even though I text all the time, over 10,000 times a few months ago (although I've cut back) I don't like to text. I only do it because that's the only way to get a hold of anyone I know at any time. So, my list of what I hate about texting:

• Spelling and Grammar: "Lyk r u at the skool yet?" The person who came up with this should be tied upside down by there ankles and have their wrists slit. Okay, maybe that's just a little extreme, but I hate it. And it's not just on text. It's in e-mails, it's on Facebook, some people even on the bathroom walls! It's a disease! It's a common problem that is rarely diagnosed, badspellingandgrammaritis. It's really just bad.
• Acronyms: Even I have done this, and I feel bad for it. But I'm not ass bad as some people. "GTG BRB ROTFL LOL!" I hate that. So much. Some people should have their faces punched in. I'm sorry for the violence, I just really hate it. A lot.
• Time: Okay, so here's the problem, by the time you've sent you're text saying "k" about ten minutes after I sent a 3 page message about something important, you and I could have had a real conversation. Ten times. It's ridiculous. I hate when I sit for Ten minutes because I want to know your opinion on something time-sensitive and I get a one word text.
• One Word Messages: This angers me. Why even text me if you're going to just say "cool" or "k" every time I say something. If you send one word I will most likely try to end the conversation. I am guilty of one word messaging, but it's usually because you started sending stuff that's annoying and I'm trying to say "go away!"
• People Who Hide Behind Text: Why, just why. Some people just can't get the guts to fight in person. If you're gonna fight with me, then go up to me and say what you need to say. I don't like fighting to begin with (no debating is not fighting, I like to debate if you have a clue what you're talking about) but I'd rather fight in person. If you text me saying some lame insult then don't even text me. The only time I fight over text is if you a) won't see me in person, and b) I have a legitimate reason.
• Miscommunication: I don't know if everyone becomes an idiot when they text, but no one gets any information right. It's pure stupidity. Why doesn't anyone get it. Really. It's just purely annoying.

If you do any of this regularly. Start now making an effort to stop before I send my guard platypus to attack you.

Why is the President Paid Less Than a Football Player?

Today, I sat in class, of course I wasn't paying attention, but I was thinking of what to write today. I thought for a long time and couldn't think of anything.
Well, at dinner Alex, my football obsessed younger brother, decided to look at an article online about the homes of football players. Which sparked my dinner conversation and this blog post.
At dinner Alex showed my mother the article and the players had houses costing multiple millions. I couldn't believe it! I soon had an interesting debate with the boy and of course he believed they were paid an appropriate amount for what they do.
A football player is paid to play football and stay fit and healthy. Then on certain Sundays they go out and play games. Obviously this is a difficult job, but why should they be making so much. A construction worker makes approximately $46,000 per year which I just looked up online. My brother's argument was that a football player is working brutally, so is a construction worker, and they accomplish something!
The president is supposed to run the country. According to Wikipedia the president makes around $400,000 a year. Why is it that the president makes less, actually about 9% of presidents have died from assassination (4 out of 44) I researched the number of football players who had died on the field, there have been ten professional players to die while on the field.
A surgeon is supposed to save lives and make life easier. A surgeon makes an average of $308,000 per year. They are working hard and have been training for years to save your life, paying $120,000 to $500,000 for their degree! I researched that too.
Bill Gates has millions was one of my brother's debates, and my response was that he contributes to society outside of entertainment. Computer technology runs the world, and there's more to it than being able to read this blog, or go on Facebook. A football player's only true contribution to society is entertainment.
I've yet to see the reason why a football player is paid so much.

Anger...

Have you ever had one of "those days" where you would love to punch someone, not any specific person, just punch someone, or where you'd like to just scream at the next person you see. That's today for me.
As I've said in the past, I'm extremely intolerant.
As I'm writing this I already have a headache. That's what happens when you have a younger brother. People of the world be warned: any boy 13-14 thinks that they are number one and that they can get whatever they want because they're a little bit bigger. My brother for example is about the same height and 10 pounds heavier than me. Although he is convinced he is twice my size.
Patience is not my strong suit. Never test me. Ever. I don't have any patience whatsoever. I am completely intolerant. I'm not even going to lie. I have absolutely no patience and no tolerance.
I should find a way to control this, but really, I don't feel like it.
I would type more but it's a bit late.

Coffee

For those of you who don't know me, I have an unnatural love for coffee.
I mean I really love coffee. Everyday I go to school with a huge cup of coffee, and I drink real coffee. I like my coffee like I like my men, strong and rich. I don't drink pansy coffee.
I love the taste of coffee, it's amazing. I take my coffee and I put a very small amount of vanilla Almond Milk.
The energy boost is important. Especially when you wake up at 6:45 in the morning to go somewhere you don't want to go, to learn stuff you will never use, to spend thousands of dollars to go to college, and get a degree you don't need, for a job you don't like. And since this is obviously tiring, more when you're up past midnight doing stuff for school you obviously are going to be exhausted. Why do teachers assign so much work, and after complain about how tired we all are. Of course we're going to be tired in the morning. I mean even when I get my work done at 7:00 I can't get to sleep until 1:00 just because I can't make myself sleep. Coffee is the only thing between me and passing out in the middle of English.
I can honestly say I am a caffeine addict. I see no problem with it though.

Now: your assignment for the day is that if you have not had a cup of coffee get a cup of coffee. For extra credit, drink a second. If you have already had coffee today, or even a second cup, then congratulations, you are an overachiever.

What I HATE About Facebook

Today, I am making a list of complaints about Facebook. I use it all the time, but I don't really even like it!

• Friend Requests: Look, if I don't really know you all that well why should I add you? Then if I don't you get offended and make me feel bad
• "Like" Pages: There are pages to press like and like a quote that's supposed to be a "like" page. Also, why did they make it into "like"pages, what was wrong with Fan Pages? And now you can't look at real pages for half of them!
• Groups: Well, actually POINTLESS groups. I don't mind being in the group on Facebook for Latin or Chorus, but don't send me an invite for a group called "FrEaKs" I don't care, or "ANIME LOVERS" I got invites for those groups, I don't even watch anime! What am I supposed to do in a fan group for anime?!
• That Whiny Girl Always Talking About Love: There's always that twelve year old girl who always talks about love, I'm sorry but you're twelve, and I don't want to hear about how you "love" your boyfriend and how you think you'll be together forever! You need to stop texting your boyfriend on your iPhone 4 and watch a Disney movie or something because you are acting like you're 17.
• That Girl Who Always Tries To Fight: There's always some girl who tries to add you and start saying stuff, and they never have the guts to do it in person. I've told people off in person, I hate hiding behind Facebook or texting. If you can't say it to my face then leave me alone.
• Nobody Uses Correct Grammar: I'm one of those people who will correct every misspell in your status, and really how much time are you saving by typing with horrible grammar and spelling. It's ridiculous.
• When Girls Put Trashy Pictures Up With an Unrelated Quote: Look, you in the mirror wearing a bikini has nothing to do with that depressing yet meaningful quote under it. It's so annoying. I can see if you put a picture of you dressed as Marilyn Monroe for a party and put a quote by her or if you put up a picture of the author of the quote, or if you made the quote around when the picture was taken, but if you put a quote with the picture then make it related.
• Constant Layout Changes: I have been using Facebook since February 2008, I was good with the original layout where you could see a chat box and all your applications, but now it's not even close to that, I hate the new layout. I really do. They've changed everything, there's only one thing I want, and that's the "dislike" button.

That's just a short list of complaints about Facebook.
I may do something else soon.
Oh and a new quote "Honey, you change your relationship status more that Facebook changes it's layout"

Happy Pi Day!

Today is the lovely 3.14. And in my math class we had a celebration. My teacher told the class, "Wednesday, the 14th is pi day. A celebration of all things math! Which, as we all know, everything is math, so we're going to have a party!"
This is on of my favorite teachers for a reason. He's pretty insane.
So last night, late at night, I of course made blueberry muffins. My excuse, "Well, blueberries are round, and so are muffins, and the container is round, and when you measure something round you usually use pi."
I know, a little out there.
After class I got to chorus and I was asked by several people for muffins. I had 3 muffins...
I was like, I'm sorry! I don't have anymore...
And now I'm having this amazing tea thing... I don't know what it's called, but it's  delicious!
Now, I must leave and kill my brother's friends...
So here's a picture of a squirrel with a cup of coffee.

Life Lesson: Baking Can Easily Become an Extreme Sport

So, I decided at 10:00 at night to make muffins. I made them, and as I was about to put them in the oven I realized something. There was a casserole dish in the oven. The oven was at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. And my counters were quite cold. I placed the dish on the counter and all of a sudden it shattered! I jumped away and said, "Darn Ninjas always out to get me!" Sort of quietly, I mean really, if the ninjas did hear me it would not be good. And of course the first thing I did was text my friend about it. I know, such a teenage girl.
After this I continued on with cleaning up and placing my muffins in the oven. I was at this point texting and cleaning. I checked inside the oven and what do I say when I see they are baking very well, "Sexy!"
When I bake, it is quite an interesting experience. Especially with rock music being what I listen to when baking. Usually I like to play death metal, this time it was more along the lines of Bowling for Soup and Greenday.
Also, a shout out to my dad, who keeps trying to say I didn't know today is his birthday. Happy birthday dad!

And a happy early Pi Day to us all! 3.14

Tolerance

Taking a lesson from me in tolerance is like taking a driving lesson from Hellen Keller.
Horrible idea.
So, I'm obviously not telling you about how to be tolerant or how tolerant I am. I'm more just saying how the world needs to grow a brain. Then, and maybe then, I'll be able to speak to someone. For now, I just suck royally at communication. Not that I can't talk about anything, more that I hate listening to minuscule problems that in reality, don't matter.
Obviously, I don't like listening to people and their problems. Believe me, I'm not an advice column, although my friend seems to think that's what I am.
I hate listening to relationship problems most of all. I'm not a relationship person, I don't have anything to help you, I don't like to hear about it, so why of all people would a person come to me for relationship advice. Really. I'm not sympathetic at all, chances are what you'll get from me is some sarcastic answer. People seem to think I'm funny, but in reality I'm actually pretty mean. I guess sarcasm really is the way to insult idiots without them noticing.

Rain

Today, I woke up to rain pouring outside.
I love and hate the rain
I love it because it's a place to go outside and feel like everything is being washed away, all the bad in your life is gone and you're clean and free, it's an amazing place to dance and sing. I love it because you get a refreshed feeling. When you're with friends, it's an amazingly cliché place to be. It's cold and everyone's makeup runs and you're able to just laugh at yourselves. My absolute favorite, and I'm not usually a romantic, but this is fun, is getting caught in the rain with a guy you're into and kissing, it's just an amazing thing to do.
I hate the rain too. I hate it because I can't get places, I can't go to the pool. My parents aren't really into me going out in the rain because it's cold and wet, and my mother doesn't want me sick. So, it's forbidden, and twice as appealing of course.
I know this is a short blog, but I wanted to get something out today.

This is Going to be an Interesting One

I've just recently started to notice a trend when I speak to my mom. To begin with, if I mention a guy she asks if I like him, and if I hang out with a guy, she asks if we're going out or if I kissed him. In fact, I went to church camp over the summer in Daytona Beach, well the week before I broke up with my boyfriend because he live 45 minutes away. And so what did my mom ask when I got home "how many boys did you kiss?" My respnse, "none..." and she said, "Oh I thought you broke up with him because you wanted to be a free woman at camp."
I don't really get into relationships and such. In fact, I hate going on dates. My mom though, seems to think I'm boy crazy. I like guys, obviously, but I don't really like dating.
I've never really seen dating as a priority. I mean I've dated but I don't complain about being single. I feel free when I'm single.
I like to be myself, no pressure to be the "girlfriend" type. I'm just not the girly, trophy wife type. I know a lot of girls who I won't be shocked if they become trophy wives. I mean all they care about is their boyfriend and shoes. What's my favorite saying, "Honey, I've had hair colors longer than your 'relationship.'"
I don't think I heard that anywhere, I tried finding a picture on Google Images, but I couldn't find the saying.
I made my own. From a picture on Google Images.

But really. To me, teenage love and relationships, they're not real. I'm not really sure if I believe in romantic love. I don't really care. I have had friends tell me I "need" a boyfriend, I just say, "I need a boyfriend like a fat kid needs cake." I'm a very sarcastic person if you haven't learned by now. I enjoy having these traits. It makes life far more entertaining. That and that my emotions are: bored, angry, happy, sarcastic, and FOOD!
Well, feel free to write your opinions in the comment section. Good day, I say good day sir!

Quote

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

This is probably my favorite quote of all time. I don't know why but I feel like I should write about it. I see it as an honest truthful thing. I've had a lot of friends in my life and it's in the tough times you learn who actually is there for you. Marilyn Monroe made a wonderful statement with this quote, and there are other quotes I've seen that are absolutely inspiring, but this one speaks to me, and since I've heard it, it has. When I see it or hear it, it's a reminder that I don't need to listen to people's crap. I have had friends who basically if something was wrong, they went missing, and I was there for them, but they where never there for me.
I am always reminded that if a person is truly a friend then they are there, through the good and the bad. and like Marilyn stated "if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." If someone isn't going to be there for you when things suck, then they don't deserve to be there at all.
So, even though I don't have that many views, let's get a discussion going. Comment on what this quote says to you, or what another quote may say. Feel free to share. 

Teenage Love, Marriage, and Children

I feel today a need to write about my opinion on teenage "love" to begin with I hardly believe in romantic love. I believe it's a ton of hormones. I apologize to the romantics who disagree. Yes, I date, but no, I don't truly believe in love. I get so sick of hearing girls talk about how they're "in love." Especially when they've not been with the guy for long.
I know some people think love is real. And who knows, maybe it is, I guess I'm just heartless as some say. To me, I'd be happy, relationship or no relationship. I don't want kids, and I don't know if I want to get married. I get told by a lot of people that it's "wrong" or "sad" that I have no want for children, but the thing is, no one molded me to become a mother. It's a trend I've seen with my friends. The friends who's mothers have trained them to have kids in the future, they want children, they want to be housewives. The friends who's mothers allowed them to form their own opinion either only want one kid or don't want kids at all.
From the time I was young I've never wanted children. I was the little girl with a pink dress and pigtails cutting her dolls' hair off. I find this hilarious! I never in my life have said that in the future I want children. It's just not. My dad hates my opinion, and thinks that I'll miss out on the "best" part of my life, but I don't want that. I don't even want pets really. I'm the type who would almost rather be "forever alone"
I guess you can see I'm not exactly normal. It's a well known fact though.
I found the pic on FB

Beauty

Today, I received an invite for a Facebook event: "Most Beautiful Teen Contest"
It seems like nothing and it's really very dumb. But there were THOUSANDS of people attending. I saw it and laughed. Not at the contest itself, well a little at the contest, but at the fact that every girl had makeup caked on. Beauty comes from within, not from having perfect hair and makeup. I don't look at appearance when I'm choosing my friends, I just say "hi" and see if they're tolerable. I am human though so of course I notice looks, but I don't think of how they look as a judgment. I'm not saying makeup and hair products are bad either, heck, I'm one of the most guilty of all when it comes to wearing too much makeup or frying my hair with dyes and flat irons. Makeup and hair products though, should only be used to make yourself happy. If you don't like doing hair and makeup like I do, then don't spend an hour on it, no one will care, and if they do, that's something wrong with them. I started wearing makeup at eleven as a confidence booster, and I liked wearing it. But it's like athletics, you have to like it to do it.
Also, girls out there, making the "Am I ugly" videos, you're beautiful in your own way, and the internet isn't a place to ask about how you look because people are so cruel about appearances.
In reality, true beauty starts with inner beauty, so if you are beautiful on the inside, then eventually you'll be beautiful on the outside. The women who are the most beautiful now, were the nerds in high school, and the women who are low class, a lot of them were the cheerleader types. So it's not a bad thing to want to be beautiful, you just have to remember, you are no matter what, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Getting Political Here: Insurance and Birth Control vs. Viagra

Today's topic was brought to my attention by my friend (who's basically my sister) Maddox
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a bit controversial, I am talking about Viagra and birth control.
I myself am a Christian, and a virgin, I don't take birth control, because right now I have no use for it. I do find it wrong, however that a man can get Viagra, Ciallas, and others all he wants, this began basically the moment they were FDA approved. In an ironic way, the use of Viagra is the exact reason why a woman needs birth control unless she's gone through "the change" but really, how often do you think that's where the usage is. Sandra Fluke, a woman studying law at Georgetown tried to work towards these rights, and by Rush Limbaugh she was referred to as "everything but a white woman," to quote Suzy, Maddox's mom. At one point Limbaugh made a vulgar statement: "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. And I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we all can watch.” The comment made was extremely crude and inappropriate.
A reason they are using to avoid coverage for women's contraceptive is it may offend the Catholic church. In a country where we are granted the "freedom of religion" we are not gaining our full rights. I myself believe that if you don't like something, then don't pay attention to it, for example, you don't like Black Sabbath, fine that's great, don't listen to them and let the rest of us listen in peace. If you want something though, you need to ask for it. What women are doing is asking for birth control, which is a need.
Cafferty stated "Viagra is used to treat a medical condition, erectile dysfunction. Birth control is a lifestyle choice." But birth control isn't just a lifestyle choice, it's used to treat a variety of disorders men couldn't begin to understand. Viagra is by far more of a life style choice, sex is not a need, it's more of an urge.
To finish this post, at this unholy hour of 1:37AM on a school night, I'll leave you with another quote from my talking to Suzy "Men run the world! As long as they do, the blue pills will be free, and pink ones ($50+ per month the cheapest generic) will cost a girl more than the flowers or shoes she really desires and deserves!"

A Very Serious Topic

Today I have a very important message to get across:
Dear boys,
I must say, it is most definitely not "sexy" when you decide to wear your pants at your knees. And us girls, we don't like it. If you are one of those guys who "sag" then you should go to the store and buy a belt at this very moment.
It does not make you "gangsta" when you sag, it actually means you're a homosexual. You see this trend, it was started in prisons in the early 90's. The point of it was so that men in prison would know who was gay and who was straight, straight men kept there pants where they belong, gay men would sag to let everyone know they were "open for business"
So to the boys who find it so hip to sag, please, stop.
Love,
The girls of the world

Finally, I Have Seen Harry Potter

It may seem a shock to you. but before today, I had never seen Harry Potter, although I had read enough My Life Is Average to understand the jokes, I had never seen it. So this lovely day I finally looked, and I must say, it was fantastic. I laughed when my friend (who is a complete Twitard) said she didn't like it, She and I are complete opposites, she's pink, I am most definitely not, she's girly, not me, she is boy OBSESSED, I am not. She is my dear friend Maddox, and she is like my sister, I call her my sister, and my parents even consider her a second daughter. But anyways, back on topic. I have to say, I definitely prefer Harry Potter to Twilight, Harry Potter is about these kids actually doing something and accomplishing something, they're productive. Twilight is about sitting around and letting your "vampire" boyfriend do all the work. I mean really, he lives in the woods, he sparkles, how can he possibly be a vampire. Also, to put reality into this, although Harry Potter isn't any more realistic than Twilight, Twilight is just ridiculous, all of the stories about vampires disprove Twilight being about vampires, for one they're dead, therefore they cannot reproduce, eat other's food, or basically any of the other stuff involved.
So a message to Stephanie Meyers:
Please, discontinue writing, I mean seriously. It's not right.
Now, I cannot say Harry Potter is any more realistic but at least it has strong leading characters and a more positive message, I mean really. And also, has anyone else ever read My Life Is Twilight, it's just sad "Today, I realized my hair is brown like Bella's. MLIT" If you are submitting posts that are pro-twilight to that website, then you need to be placed in front of a computer with My Life Is Average in order to fix everything wrong with you. You will learn the way.
Now, since I've been ranting for far too long, I say good day.

What I've Learned in 15 Years

1.) Don't let anyone tell you what your dreams should be.
2.) Sometimes saying goodbye is what you need to do to survive.
3.) Word choice is important, if you say the wrong thing once, then you may lose a dear friend.
4.) If someone is only around when life is good, they aren't good enough for you.
5.) This is life, never take it too seriously, because in the end, we're all gonna die anyways.
6.) If you're 14, you're too young to cry because of some idiot boy.
7.) The best memories aren't the ones that cost hundreds of dollars to create, they're the ones that just happen, like dressing up as a fairy and running around at Walmart.
8.) When you make a mess, be ready for your mom to yell at you until you clean it.
9.) Never let someone tell you who to be, because obviously the don't really like you if they want you to be different.
10.) Your English teacher will not appreciate being called "man"
11.) Sometimes the best thing to do is take a deep breath, count to ten, and walk away.
12.) Don't let someone get to you, it can only end badly.
13.) You have 2 choices, take the short cut and get there faster, or take the scenic route and make memories.
14.) “Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.” -Will Smith
15.) It may seem cool to act like an idiot, but if you are smart now, you'll get a few years of crap for being a nerd, but you'll be living the good life later on.

Wow. Just Wow.

I never was a relationship centered person, I have had all of two relationships. I suck at relationships. I hate dates, I hate commitment, and I can't stand stupidity. I broke up with ex # 1 because when you're 14, you just can't manage having a boyfriend who lives 45 minutes away. Ex #2 wasn't quite as easy. He and I met in class and became close friends, and one day he and I were joking around and he kissed me. After that we had a thing where we were half way going out, for most of the month of December we were going out, and after we went back to the half way going out phase, I would say I was probably more towards the not wanting a legitimate relationship thing to be honest, he was nice but he would say how he wanted a girlfriend and stuff, and in all honesty I was content with not having a real relationship, it made me feel like I wasn't overly committed.
Like I said, I suck at relationships. I liked him a lot though but after a while I couldn't keep a conversation anymore, so one night my friend(who is going out with his best friend) and I texted him and her boyfriend a joke kind of thing to mess with them. And so when he only replied negatively, I blew up with rage. I told him I wasn't his... whatever it was anymore, I didn't even want to be his friend. I said bye and now I get the struggle of getting back my stuff.
Moral of the story: well there are two.
1.) Relationships suck, stay away from them.
2.) Always get your stuff back before ending it. It's easier that way.
And a message to mom and dad who are probably reading this: Yes, I know this is up on the internet forever, no I don't care.

Opening Post

Why hello there boys and girls.
Wow, that was idiotic.
Anyways, I'm Lex, and I am a 15 year old girl who lives in Florida, I am in the ninth grade, although I don't act like any of those idiotic freshmen. I have a delightful group of friends, who border on insanity. I live my life how I want it. I don't listen to other people's bs, because really, why should I. If you don't agree with me, I always love a good debate, just make sure it's worth while, and try to hold an intelligent conversation. I will warn you now, I am an INTP personality, that means I'm Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, and Perspective. This is according to the Myers Briggs Personality test, and I find it quite accurate, I am not a relationship centered person, and I hate, I meant hate, feelings and emotions, which truly shocks my ENFJ and INFJ parental units. I don't really feel like explaining all that so have fun, search it if you wish.
Off the topic of Meyers Briggs, I promise, there will not be any obsessive shoe blogs where I talk about the color pink and floral patterns, I feel it necessary to announce that I'm actually a bit on the political side, but only if it has to do with something important to me. Such as SOPA, that is idiotic and violates the rights stated in the first amendment listed in the Bill of Rights. Wow, I feel like I'm speaking Lawyerese, as my insane math teacher calls it. By the way, my social life is like my iPhone, I don't have one. I like my Blackberry, I don't like Apple products. I feel like a nerd now, wow.
Continuing, more useless crap about me, I love drawing and painting, and I am a chorus kid, I love computers and learning about them, I am a little nerd. Oh, and if you decide to comment, I request you make at least an attempt at decent grammar, I am thoroughly annoyed when people type incorrectly.
Okay, well this is, by far, too long. Bye
