Control Issues

Ugh. I am SO tired of this. I mean, I can share almost anything. I am a very nice person (and have been told so too) but my computer is one of the things that I can absolutely not share. Now, "share" in this case does not mean "Let me use your computer for 5 or 10 minutes." That is perfectly fine because it doesn't bother me completely. It's not as if I can't find something to do for 5 or 10 minutes. But, in the case of my mom, "share" means "Hey, let me use your computer for 3-4 hours daily and interrupt what you might be doing." It is so freaking annoying! I got this laptop as a "gift" for "my" birthday, but it seems like one of those "gifts" that was really intended to benefit the whole family and not for the person whose birthday it actually is. Now this may sound a tad bit mean, but I told them to use our old computer since their only need is internet browsing. But no. since it is new and shiny (and probably just because they want to annoy me), they HAVE to use mine! And with my dad, he says "Bring me the laptop" with pride! I can sense it in his voice! "Bring me the laptop." So, when our old computer finally became obsolete, we are back in square one again. Sharing 1 computer. It just annoys the HELL out of me. Especially when my mom asks me how to spell something constantly and makes me perform these mediocre searches on Google telling me "See!" as if it were something Sherlock Homes-worthy. Every single thing is a mystery waiting to be solved. If she googles "find telephone numbers for free", she will think the ad for "find telephone numbers for free for 50% off at ebay.com" is a solution. Even though, I've repeatedly told her those are the ads. Gosh. Moms!

Group Projects

Ugh. I'm currently doing a group project. I really, really hate those. I've rarely hated the people I've done them, because they are mostly really sweet people. But, ugh, I hate group projects. I hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. Like I said, the girl I'm working with now is really sweet. She's really smart and does more than enough to cooperate and participate and exasperate and yoizerate and vorizirate and parizirate and ya. Making -rate words is FUN FTW! Anyway, she's great, but like each time I get into a group project deal, it is SO freaking disorganized. We are always deciding who does what, or where goes what or such and such AS WE GO ALONG! Now, I am a giant procrastinator and I really cannot handle working with people that have such high work ethic such as a person like her. But, that's happened to me before. This wouldn't be the first time. The constant question if I've finished "my part" or whatever. I say no at first, but within the end I usually do well. I dunno, I just don't like group projects.

Let's try this out

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. As I write this, it is Wednesday, January 6th, 2010. I am quite bored and have always wanted to do this "blogging" thing. It sounds fun! Or at least, I would hope. The whole "communicating with the world" deal, which could be called Web 2.0 citing examples such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and so on, seems fun. Beginnings are always quite fun in my opinion, and you never know where a new prospect will take you. What I would really like is my little quaint group of followers. I don't believe it's an entirely insane goal, seeing as how completely mediocre people on YouTube upload the most mediocre videos ever and say nothing at all of real importance, such as I'm doing now. What I plan to do with this blog is:

-Convey my sense of humor. I have a really, quirky exotic sense of humor. Don't be confused, the stuff I say is genuinely funny. It's just people always expect the joke to be simple, or completely obvious.

-Talk about interesting details of my life. Now, even though that might sound oxymoronic, I promise to try to make it interesting.

-Discuss current events or point interesting things: Such as funny YouTube vids, or what is currently in the tabloids or political issues. Now, with this being my first blog, none of this will apply now, but in my next blog posting, expect it! Ok. Thanks again for reading!
