Various Rants II

I believe a good day of venting is in order. I've been in a really good mood lately, defining happy actually, to the point of tears. So here's some thoughts.

-- I hate when my parents leave, and don't tell me that people are showing up at the house. My mom just left with my little sister and two random guys from Aquatime Pools just showed up? My mom says to completely ignore them, but they probably now I'm here because I was singing loudly in a front room with many open windows. Oh well.

-- I'm currently drinking Powerade. It says ION 4. I don't know what it means. I don't think many people know what it means. I certainly know that no one really cares. I don't care. I just want to drink my Strawberry Lemonade Powerade, thank you very much. I don't care about its advanced electrolyte system with sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. I just care that the stuff tastes like Nerds. And I like that.

-- The OK button on the outside of my EnV2 no longer works. Nor do my "*", "0", or "#" buttons. Apparently, this happens to all EnV2s at some point, and I was simply out of the loop. I think that's a rather awful bit of design and planning on LG's part...don't you?

-- Our history teacher gave us an essay test today. She never told us what the question would be, just that it was about The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Turns out it was about his virtue system thingy...like she couldn't have told us that last week when she told us we'd be having a test. Fairness does not exist in junior year I've decided.

-- I bought a class ring. It's gonna be SICK. Silver with a music design on one side, drama on the other. Antique finish. Perfect.

-- I am the only trombonist in my school's jazz band this year. Did I mention I'm also the only girl? This year should be quite interesting...

-- On the front of the Crayola Crayon 24 pack sitting in front of me, there's a little blue ribbon with a checked off box next to the words "Preferred by Teachers." Why would anyone buy that? Why did WE buy it? Who cares what the teachers think? They're CRAYONS. They never even get used in class! They just put them on the supply list to get your hopes up about the year being maybe just a little fun, and then they crush your dreams. Maybe that's why teachers like them. They're a good tool to use when destroying the souls of children everywhere.

-- I've had the same background on my phone for the past...4 months?
