Just An Average Teenager

You wanna see pathetic?
This is what I do in my spare time.
I figure out new ways to make Word '11 for Mac cool.

For this first one I wasn't even thinking about posting it on my blog until after, so I was doing this purely for fun and for myself...pathetic? yes. insane? yes. out of the ordinary? nah.

....told you I was pathetic. I'M EASILY AMUSED, SUE ME.

HOLY CRAP. JUST LOOKED AT MY PROFILE AND SAW SOMETHING EXTREMELY EXCITING AND PATHETIC AT THE SAME TIME.

I HAVE EXACTLY 42 PAGE VIEWINGS.


On the one hand:
That's kinda pathetic because if you think about it the majority of those were probably me, which means there are only like 3 people who actually LOOK at my blog. And they've each only looked at it like 6 times. And I've been here since May.

On the other hand:
HA! 42! I WIN! **dances**
(If you don't get this reference, shame. Go read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or I refuse to speak to you. Not really. But go.)

Now, you 3 people who look at my blog every once in a while, go read the less recent post cause this one's almost pointless and I put a whole lot more work into the other one.

GO.

As you can see from the extensively long title, I was procrastinating (what a surprise! gasp!) today, and I was lookin' for something to catch my interest. I found this blog that took inspiration from my beloved Hyperbole and a Half (sound like anyone?) and began to read. I suppose I shouldn't have started at the earliest post. It was unfair. My earliest post is boring and stupid (as are the rest of them) and I wouldn't want anyone to base their opinion of my blog on my earliest post. BUT, I did. And I read the beginning... I was impressed so far! Interesting topic, whatever... but behold, an error. One of my pet peeves... 
This person, who I assume is a very nice, respectable, blog-tastic young lady, replaced "lose" with "loose"... twice, actually... I couldn't bear to read on. And that sounds rude and horrible (probably because it's rude and horrible), but I just have a thing for grammar...


PEOPLE. LOOSE AND LOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS.


If they weren't, there would probably be drastic communication consequences. And if I were funny and able to think of examples, I would put them here. But I'm not and I can't. So you're just gonna have to be creative. 


UPDATE: I just went back to the post to give it a second chance. Found a few more typos, but the post had quite a good message. I'm going to take the things this person laid out and agree with them! Yay!
So it's about things she's learned about love. Obviously I've got a lot to learn... so I'mma teenagify this shniz.
(She put more stuffies in here that I'm going to replace with mine... comments under the numbered stuff. And I fixed the typos. This is actually a really good post. I'm just obnoxious.) 


1. You can spend, minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened - or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.

Hah. GUILTY. Overanalyzing stuff is sooo not worth the time... most likely, it doesn't mean anything. (COUGH HYPOCRITE BLOGGER COUGH) So although sometimes it's good to pay attention to people, make sure you don't take what they're saying and twist it SO much that your brain explodes trying to figure out what this person could POSSIBLY have meant by such and such action/phrase/etc. Most likely, you WILL live not knowing every single thought in this person's head. I promise.

2. Don't be afraid to be alone.

I know this is good advice, but being alone is scary! Buuuuut she's right.......... you have to be independent. Because without a firm "me", there can never be a firm "us".


Look at me, bein' all logical.


3. Don't fall so quickly, you lose yourself in the process.

Okay, so I guess what she's saying here is make sure you keep who you are, even if you are devoted to someone else. Make sure you're (insert name here), not (insert name here)'s boy/girlfriend.

4. Don't be afraid to speak up if you have a problem with a relationship, and don't be afraid to end it.

Agh. See this is hard too. But yes yeeees, you are right Ms. Wise Blogger. 
1. Speaking up
Si, make sure you speak up if you have a problem, but make sure it's not nagging. No one's gonna want someone who's trying to change their significant other (SO for the rest of this post and eternity) for their benefit...know when to stop.
2. Ending it
If you've done all you can, end it I suppose... and it'll be hard but do what ya gotta do? I have no idea, I don't have any experience with any of this! Haahaha I'm gonna abstain from commenting on this...

5. The end is of "us" is not the end of "me".

Sorta repetitive. But basically you'll move on, everything will get better, even though it feels like your life is gonna end right now, you will look back and say how, as my great friend Elena taught me, the pain has made you stronger.

6. It's ok if you move on slower than he does.

I mean at some point you have to let go I guess, but taking a while doesn't mean you're weak, it means you cared.

7. You WILL move on.

...said this :) 


So yes, good post, I'm obnoxious, teenagers are dramatic, blah blah blah.


AAAANYWAY.
I was asked a LOOONG time ago to make a comic about test grades. I will. I promise. Eventually. Maybe. 


...Maybe. Better go with maybe.


I love you all.


Sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth (as far as this blog is concerned) for the past month or so. Not that anyone cares.

PS there's probably a few errors in here and I therefore am a hypocrite because I don't feel like proofreading.
