Nerd Post: Skyrim review

In the beginning there was nothing, then my little brother showed me how to play Skyrim on his xbox 360.

So at fist I thought it was the best game ever, I'm admittedly not a super great player but it's still really fun. So there I was being awesome when I went down stairs to my older brother's room where he was playing Dark Souls. Now anyone familar with the two game will realize that Dark Souls is much, much harder and now I know that I'm a total "noob". Against real people I would be killed in a heart beat, which is why skyrim is for my little brother and I. Now, my little bro isn't bad, he's (much) better then I am, but he's not on the same level as my older brother. After witnessing Dark Souls I reevaluated Skyrim and decided it wasn't the greatest thing since sliced bread if you were a champ gamer, but if you kinda suck and you just want to play it because it's really fun, then go right ahead Skyrim is for you. If you want a real challenge so that you don't feel like you wasted your money on for 13 hours of fun, then you should get Dark Souls because that shit is nearly impossible to beat. It takes a lot more time and a lot more skill.

Guilt Trips

Years ago both of my parents took a trip to Europe, my siblings and I were all still to young to stay by ourselves for a week so my grandmother came to watch us. The first problem I have with my grandma is that she is always cleaning, always. Normal people would cheer her on and be glad it isn't them. I wold have too if she didn't insist on "cleaning" my room. I have different piles of clothes: dirty, clean, not technically clean but wearable again. She didnt know the difference and would move everything around and move stuff around so I couldn't find it later. I'm thankful to say that I'm a bit more organized now and even use *gasp* drawers. But then she was messing up a patient pending system. Now my brothers and I were all getting kinda fed up with the constant nagging about this and that. We were kids, we weren't very responsible. But one day when she told us to do something, I don't remember exactly what, we responded with our mom doesn't make us do that. This led to a whole guilt trip about how my grndma didn't have a mother and we were lucky and we take her for granted. All of which were true, but we were in elementary and middle school. I just hate it when someone tries to get you to do something by making you feel horrible.

To make matters worse she would do laundry and when she was seperating it into different peoples' stuff she held up mu underwear in front of both my brothers and they laughed at me. It was very tragic and I will never forget.

Gift Guilt

Don't you hatre when someone gets you something for no reason but you hate it. Well my grandma has a habit of doing this. Every now and then she gets something really awesome but most times it's clothes. Most of the clothes look like a grandma bought them, that doesn't work for a teenager. The main point is that my grandmother just bought me a new dress. It is made of a sundress material and is pretty light weight but it has these buttons at the bottom edge where you can button them and make it have this weird gathered ruffle part just at the bottom. That makes the dress go to just about the middle of my shins, if I undo the buttons it is ankle length. Now highschoolers don't really wear dresseslike this, some do, but not me. My idea was not to get rid of the dress but rather to hem it to a more desirable length, my mother got frusterated with me because she and my grandma spend a lot of time choosing this dress over some other ones..... I don't know what to say other then "I'm sorry you chose wrong?" I just want to trim it, and it was my grandma who bought my surger so I could hem things and she loves whne I sew and make things. In the end I'm not going to wear it like that so I don't understand why I can't fix it.

Now in the end she decided that if I wasn't going to wear it like that then I could fix it so here's the transformation:

Sorry about the messy room, it's a teen thing.

In the end it all worked ou though, my grandma called to say hello and my mom told her about it and when we talked she said she was glad I knew how to alter and fix things so I could fix clothes when I wanted to.

Tantrum

I'm going to throw  little tantrum here. You were forwarned.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I really want to go volenteer with my friend at the local animal shelter. We were all set and I had already signed up (they don;t like it when you sign up then cancel) when she calls me texts me and backs out. Now I love said friend but I was a bit miffed. I feel bad thinking it, in fact I feel like a spoiled bitch but it's kinda my birthday and she had asked previously if this was what I wanted to do and commited then bailed.
Now it's not a big deal because I still want to go even if she isn't but if I'm going alone I was goingto help with the cats because she hates them and wont come with but I signed up for the dogs and now I'm stuck with it. Oh well it's for a good cause.
The other thing that bothers me is that I have soccer practice tomorrow too and I don't hate practice I just don't want to go on my birthday. My dad's logic is that since I just missed a week of kick arounds (just getting together and scrimmageing) then one day of try-outs I have to go. But I knbwo my dad and I'm pretty sure if I had gone to everything he would still make me go to this practice. Oh, and the reason I missed practice was because I was in florida. This is a club team not a school team which would be completely different and I understand that. I just wished that I didn't have to go to practice...one my birthday....when I don't want to.

My Twisted Mind

Do you ever look at something and think something completely random? Most people will say yes, as will I. But one of the most random things that keeps poping into my head recntly is zombies. I will be driving a night with out anyone else and think this whole road will be cracked and overgrown after the zombie apocolapse. I don't know why but these things really do pop into my mind. I was crossing a bridge and i thought the same thing, the bridge wold become unstable and break making it necessary to find an alternate way across.

Another thing in regard to zombies I think of is whether or not I wouuld survive the initial zombie outbreak. i would love to say yes but unless I had people like the terminator or Bruce Willise on my side I'm pretty sure I would become a zombie or die...or both. One book I really liked which delt with the zombie apocolapse was Rot & Ruin I thought it was well written and the sequel was alos good. Completely recomend it.

So, how would you survive the zombie apocolapse?

Fate

Fate is weird. It kinda remind me of a paradox, for example... "If fate means for us to be together then we wil be" -so you're not going to try because if it was fate it would work out but if you had never heard of fate and you tried then the relationship would work out so sometimes you people wold be fated to be together if you hadent used fate as an excuse not to actully try. And it's not just relationships, it's everything . I order to get something most people have to work for it. Unless you're one of those people who gets everything.. like Barbie, that bitch.

But the there's that Biblical fate too. Where everything is set until the end of time and God can change it if he wanted. Well first off God gave mankind the freedom to choose and which also means the have the freedom to try. A lot of times christians (I am one so don't get all uppity) will say well God dodn't give me a job so it must be impossible. No, maybe if you got off your fat ass, stoped drinking beer and actully applied somewhere instead of sitting around waiting for someone to come to your trailer home door you would have a job. God might help but he doesn't do all the work.

Whoever knows who is in this picture is officially my new best friend

Too Corny

Real convo between my dad and I
Me: *Shucking corn*
Dad: Thank's for helping make dinner
Me: aw shucks it was nothing
dad: I'm glad your 'ear
me: without me this could turn into a hairy situation
dad: some silk joke I cant remember
me: that last one gave me a kernel of doubt
Joe: I can't believe you two

What's sad about this conversation is my dad and I do this all the time. Once it was catagorizd on fish, it went on forever. We are those people wo enjoy awful puns and try to throw them into every conversation we can. Has anyone else had realy punny convos wit others? I saw a great one about the ocean and used quite a few of them in the fish conversation with my dad. Feel free to put some of your favorites in the comments section

Ghosts

I was just wondering how many of you believe in ghosts. I'm not talking about the kind that hide under the bed (unless you count that little girl from the sixth sense) but rather the what he hell is making the creepy noises and moving things around in my house. I personally have never had a ghostly encounter but I know many people who have and it freaks me out.
Quite recently some friends and I were swapping ghost stories on of which involved a ghost of a loved one who would give money to his living family. Now after my friend told us this story (it was much longer and there was more to it, but it's not my story to tell) she walked to her car. No big deal she does it everyday after all but sitting on her dashboard she found a penny. Now your probably thinking whatever don't you ever have random change in your car? But this was on the pasenger side and she hadn't had anyone riding in her car recently. Also it was the first thing she notice when she got in the car. If it was there before she would have noticed it before. The whole situation was rather unerving and while the spirit was suppost to be a friendly relative, we were all rather shook up. I just thought I would get other people's thoughts on the supernatural and otherworldly.

Prom

So yesterday was prom and it wasn't bad but it wasn't everything I dreamed of and more. At first I wasn't going to go because I didn't have a date but then suddenly all my friends were going (even the single ones) and I felt really left out. So I ended up going and I think it was th edate factor that brought me down. It's not as if I sat in the corner alone, my friends incorporated me and I danced but there was also some really adorable couple moments that kind of made my heart break. In the end I was glad I went and I think I would do it again given the chance but just didn't live up to expectations.

    But hey no one got coated in pigs blood.

The Secret is Out

After my last little pitty party I thought I would show you something I thought was quite humorous.

From Bad to Worse

So I had a really sucky day today, I didn't win a school wide election and a have a huge project to do but can't until my partner emails me some information and 2 of my fidh died. And 1 wasn't even mine. So I have a 15 gallon tank with 8 fish Pongo, Molly, Nemo, Shamu, Fred, George (mine), then there's Marmol and Marble both Josie's. When I woke up this morning they were fine, I fed them like normal ad left but when I came home today Marble and Fred were dead and Pongo was close to death, I still don't know if he's going to pull through. Anyway to some people it's like hwatever they're just fish but I like them and named them and watch them swim around often so they're kind of important to me. And dead fish on top of a shit tastic almost made me cry. Thew only thing that stopped me was the fact that my dad was right there, I don't like to cry in front of people I think it's because I have an older brother and crying ment he won. And I hate to lose.

But anyway, for all those tank people out there remember to wait for new water to get rom temperature even if you're in a big hurry because if you don't you'll kill your best friends fish and also change your filter cartridge once a month. I feel like a bad fish mom.

Bad Juju

So I never win things, and I'm not talking about races or eating competitions I'm talking about things that rely more on chance. I never win more then two bucks on scratch offs I never win the raffel at fundraisers. I'm just not very lucky. But I also don't win populatity contests. It's not that I don't get along with people I'm just not someone who grabs the room's attention. If I walked into a party noone would notice, if my friend Josie walked into a party eveyone would yell out a hello. Now this was brought on by STUCO. Or student council if you didn't know what I was talking about.
I decided to run for membership coordinator who basicly just keeps tabs on the club's members. If you didn't know where this was heading by now, I feel like I should inform you that I lost. As a Jr. to a Sophmore. I just think that maybe I shouldn't be surprised. I ran for secretary back in elementary school. And lost. And for all of you saying get over it, I pretty much was until I realized I suck at everything. This time I was really invested. It hurts almost as much as the time I was at a girl scout thing with over 100 people and yet every girl in my troop won a random name out of a bucket except me. Sounds stupid but how would you feel as every other person got called up as you sat there on the bleachers. Well my friend Josie that I mentioned is loved by everyone ran also and she won as Secretary. As did every other Jr. who ran for office.

The reasoning that "well there are more underclassmen who will vote for underclassman then upperclassman (only freshman, sophmores, and jrs votes)" doesn't really stand up when everyone else running against underclassman won. I also thought hey maybe people just chose all on the left or all on the right well guess what all the jrs were on the right but Josie so that logic wold say that I would have won and Josie wouldn't have and no jrs were on the left but Josie so all the jrs would have lost but Josie. So in the end I guess I just don't get people's attention and I have the shittest lucky ever. That or everyone hates me, but for the sake of my self imagine I'm going to pretend its bad juju.

So True...

After my last post I thought this was appropriate....

And I just wanted to say hi to all the other I will see in Hell (you know who you are)

And Then He Said YOLO!

Me: I saw this thing on twitter about how Jesus said YOLO
Jo: So?
Me: He died then came  back, he didn't YOLO. It was funny
*Blank stares*
Bridget: Wait he really said that
Me: ...Yeah Bridget, and then God said let there be light, and YOLO!!
Jo and I: hahahaha
Bridget: Oh *half hearted laughter*

This happened today and I remembered when I saw this pic, thought I would share.

Gentlemon lol

Saw this on Facebook hehe. He's a "Gentlemon"

Gah! Chem and Dad!

So I'm not doing to well in honors chem, it's really hard and I've been struggling. Now I read and re-read the note packet at least 5 times beforew a quiz we had and still dont think I did to hot. But my little brother was confessing about how he didn't do well on TWO  quiz/tests and I mention about how I don't think I did well on ONE  test and my dad freaks out. I mean really freaks out. He's yelling abou how I need to try harder and how I should study and do practice problems and I just wait for the end of his rant. The I inform him (calmly and maturly as I'm sure you imagined) that I had studied and done practice problem and he would know that if he wsas ever home. He replied with "When? When you were out shopping or when you were at Dairy Queen?!?" and I was pissed and told him that I hadn't gone shopping that day it was two days ago (for a prom dress) and that I came home from Dairy Queen and studied, he could ask Mom. So don't ask me questions if you're not going to believe my answer.

Lazy People

I hate those people who say that a teacher doesn't teach just because they don't pay attention.

They sit in the back and talk about how high they were yesterday and how many people want them and blah blah blah all while the teacher is lecuring. Maybe if you wold shut up, wake up, and actully do the work you wouldn't have to grow up and work at some fast food joint.

Bipolar English Teachers

Has anyone noticed how we learn one thing in english then the next year that same ting is wrong. For example, when you were little you couldn't strat a sentence with "but" or "because" now in high school both are allowed. Or that there's a triangle with the base at the top and point at bottom and it's because your introduction paragraph ina an essay is suppost to get more specific as you go down. I have had teachers demand we start at the bottom then ones that say start at the top. They aren't suggestions either. English has to be one of my least favorite subjects, while I love to read I have how there is no one right answer.

Dress Code

I really don't mind that a majority of the time the dress code is not inforced. I don't wear crazy short shorts (contrary to what my mom says) and my shirts are not too low (Just because I have boobs and you don't doesn't mean you can show your ENTIRE chest). But what does kill me is the fact that during one trend (sleeveless, long vests things) I was pulled aside. I who was wearing jeans and the girls who had their asses hanging out with the same top as me, walked on. My friend who is no stranger to the school disciplinary system later told me that I was most likely pulled aside because I woldn't talk back.The other girls would have cussed and made a scene. Ah the school system in action....I still wear that vest thing today.

Toilet Paper

Why is it so hard for you to just put it on the holder. It takes 5 seconds.
