About Me

I am an American female high school freshman. I like video games, anime, movies, reading and writing. I want to go to Oxford college and write for a living. My favorite work of fiction EVER (including television, movies, books, mangas, and comic books) is The Lord of the Rings. Never diss Tolkien or his books around me. In fact, don't diss fantasy in general. One of my friends did the other day, and she ended up getting hit several times in the head with a notebook. ^^P Finally, I am a nerd, and proud of it!!! A few misunderstandings I would like to clear up about nerds: 1)Yes, we do have lives and other hobbies. Just look at my second sentence. 2)This kind of goes along with point #1. We do not spend so much time on our studies that we get straight 100's in school. Nerds' grades can be all over the place, just like everyone else's. 3)I know many other nerds and I have not yet seen one with big glasses, buckteeth, and serious acne. 4)Not all nerds talk like Charles Dickens. Only the really obnoxious ones do, and there are plenty of obnoxious people who are average or complete morons, too. (i.e. the guy with whom I ended up having an argument about nerds, which caused me to write this.)

Completely Random

One of the dumbest things you can ever say: "You have to learn proper pronounciation." My response to that: "Yeah, well, you do first." My Latin teacher says that all the time.*rolls eyes* Honestly, if there's one thing everyone should be able to pronounce, it's the word "pronunciation".

Things I wonder:
1. If there is, say, a test on Thursday, and the teacher decides to move it to Friday, why do people say the teacher is "pushing the test back"? Shouldn't that mean pushing it back in time, i.e., to Wednesday?

2. People say car horns honk and people say car horns beep, usually interchangeably. But those are completely different sounds, and you never hear geese beeping, do you?

3. The number Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the same circle's diameter, right? If Pi is a ratio, how can it be irrational? (My math teacher agrees with me on this one, but my genius friend doesn't. I'm trying to decide which is more fun: me being right, or my friend being smarter than my teacher [although that's not necessarily a very big feat].)

Okay, this is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard, or close: My sister just told me that she heard the following conversation from two eighth-graders: Girl: "Really?" Boy: "Yeah!" Girl: *turns to my sister* "Did you know that 's'mores' is actually an abbreviation for 'some more'?" I knew that back when I still liked Barney! I always thought that was so obvious that it wasn't even worth mentioning, and now I find out that there's a person in eighth grade who still hasn't figured that out! I'm sorry, but that is just really pathetic...

Politically Correct Version of "One Bright Day in the Middle of the Night"
My sister and I were really bored one day, so we made a random nonsense poem we'd heard somewhere politically correct. Here's the original poem by I've no idea who:

One bright day, in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came and killed the two dead boys!
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Just ask the blind man; he saw it too!

And here's our politically correct version:

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two mortally challenged male youths got up to partake in aggressive negotiations.
Back to back they faced each other,
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP['cause you can't make weapons politically correct]
A hearing impaired police officer heard the noise,
And came and violently apprehended the two mortally challenged male youths.
If you don�t believe this factually inaccurate tale is factually accurate,
Just ask the vision impaired adult male; he witnessed it also.
But he joined the Witness Protection Program so you can�t, really.

Yeah, I know, really weird. But fun. ^^P
