Back Seat Driving, Two Year Olds, and Coming Out of the Closet




This weekend has been a busy one!
My cousin surprised us on Saturday, she came over from Philly, so it was indeed a surprise!

We saw Pirates today, and it was okay I suppose... Besides the fact that they are, most likely, going to make a fifth one... I wonder it it will end?

Tangents! On the way home, from the movies.... in Canada.... Because we are cool and leave the country to watch movies..... My uncle decided to back seat drive.. and this has been happening all weekend since he likes to be in control of the vehicle. Which in some cases, isn't the case at all. And for most of the weekend we have been riding in my cousins rental car, which is an amazing Nissan Cube! I want one. But, back to the main point, he keeps on back seat driving. Which is in fact annoying even when you are not the driver.

And today it got a bit over the edge, but Saturday was a bit worse because we got lost, and today added to the frustration because he doesn't understand the words: "Don't" or "stop" so.... it was a bit angry in the car. My aunt snapped and my cousin snapped and he was throwing a tantrum like a two year old.

Which brings us to the underpass. Which is a tunning that goes under the Frasier River... I think. Which is heading south our of Richmond where we went to see Pirates. Well, it gets loud under water, and we were behind a smelly car, so my cousin put up the window until we were free from hell. BUT my uncle didn't like that idea since he has no use for his nose(?). So he rolled it down. She rolled it up. He rolled it down. Do you see where this is going? And this went on. and on. and on. Until she locked the windows. then he kept pressing the buttons complaining that the window wouldn't go down. So, long story short, it was like a two year old playing with the window buttons and complaining. It was funny and I couldn't help but laugh.

And also like two year olds, he misunderstood the meaning of "Coming out of the closet." I don't remember what I said, I only remember the argument afterwards. He kept going on how "Gays" overshadowed the saying. His examples of how the saying could be used; "I'm black, I just came out of the closet", "I'm Asian, I just came out of the closet." , "I work at McDonalds, I just came out of the closet." and last but not least, "I'm a trucker, I just came out of the closet."

Yea.....  No..... Not really. It was funny since he either really believes that, or is such a homophobe that he doesn't want to accept the true meaning of, "I just came out of the closet"

In other news. This weekend was Bamfy. End of story. thats how it was.

Ramblings

I have this weird feeling I'm going to forget something important.

But on a side note: I have been really looking forward to coming days. Not that I wasn't, I just wasn't prepared to face them just yet.
And since my Junior year is coming to a close, I have realized how much growing up scares me! I mean, the thought of soon being able to vote and leaving home is just a frightening thought. I am 17 and not ready to be out there on my own yet. College still seems like a different language, even though I have humored the idea on many occasions. But still, the thought of being, LIVING, at school is just odd to think about.

But the boys are another thing...... a thing of unknown territory that is.

I mean.... what kind of species is Male anyway?

I have come to the conclusion that boys are a different type of human. YES they are in the Human family... but lions are in the cat family.... So... Get the picture?
Men/Boys would be a dumber version of Women/Girls.... It makes perfect sense now that I think about it. Right?

And there's another thing. I write better then I speak? No... Yes... But I can also be very vibrant and excited with my words rather then actions. It really has come to mind, that having both a Vlog and a Blog is a very good thing.

I really do need to "open" up more, so I can carry on in life. Because as of now, I feel like I don't fit in anywhere, not even with my closest friends. Which is really sad. Depressing come to think of it.
And I'm pretty ecstatic to get my cam corder so I can make better vlogs then just with my lame web cam on my computer.

And So... this is where I leave you, since I feel I should head to bed or something.
Bye!

The Rapture

So, today was suppose to be judgement day. I was wondering how they how it was going to happen, what was going to be on the news, and how the sky would look. The forecast said there would be rain, and there was rain. It kind of sucks. We had a sunny streak going until today. Is that the first sign of the rapture? A true forecast?
And this whole things seems silly to begin with. I mean, why listen to some old guy? How come I can't say something that people will believe and he can?
Well, I say the world is going to end after my birthday, October 21, 2011.... Oh wait... He said that too. And whats up with that?! AFTER I turn the big one eight! I'm going to be an adult for less then 24 hours. What a life! Thats barely enough time to celebrate! I wont even get to vote in the 2012 elections. Because again we're suppose to die then too. Three dates, and so far, nothing to show for it.
People are pretty ridiculous. If the world were to end, I'm pretty sure there would be some kind of warning. Like, flying pigs or those sky fish, like in Doctor Who!
Not just some guy saying it will. I feel we'll go out with a bang! WWIII or some kind of radioactive malfunction, or world wide cancer! Something classy and believable, not because "God came down and told me so."
I figure God has something else planned for us, and not some silly rapture. I give it a couple hundred to a thousand more years.

 Just in case it does happen sooner, I wont be prepared.

Letter to myself.

Dear Martha,
I feel that you shouldn't try so hard. I can understand why you think you need too, but the things you do come naturally and there is no work involved. So, take a step back, take deep breaths, and look forward. Don't look back, for that is long gone. What awaits ahead of you is important.
You will find ways to succeed in life, and ways to succeed in your mind. There is no need to fret about it. Even with a camera, with a pen and paper, with a paintbrush, it will soon come effortlessly. You just need to believe in yourself and what you want will be what you get.
Look back on this and reread word for word to remind yourself these words are true. And I know the first thing you will think is; "Why am I so self centered?" When in truth you are the most selfless person I have known.
So keep you chin up, and try your BEST. Don't overflow your brain with useless rants and kicks about how you don't try hard enough. Just remember to always take deep breaths and look ahead.

Sincerely,
Martha

Big Time Brawl!

In this I WILL NOT mention any names since that would be rude of me.
But today was the most exciting of most. In the beginning, like most, everyone was dreading the ever lasting Monday that was and would have been torturous! But instead we had mostly subs and a Lunch Time Entertainment Show.
I found it humorous that the most likely reason for this fistful argument was just miscommunication. And that's how most high school fights end up starting, and thats just with the girls. I just really find it funny how no one was listening to one another! It was like their voice boxes were on autopilot so they couldn't comprehend what the other was saying.
And on another thing, no one really cared. You could have plainly seen the loss of interest on most faces in that small area. But then someone just had to go and light the fuse.
I really don't understand high school girls at all! And this just pretty much shows how animalistic we really are. Yes boys have their moments with overflowing testosterone. But really now?! When someone says she didn't know anything and doesn't know you, how would you take it?
It just goes to show how much things get turned on the play ground of high school. And in truth, I feel bad for all who were involved. I do believe that it was just the misunderstanding of some topic that floated around campus. Nothing so big it must get attention.
And I am happy that no one really got hurt. I do understand feelings, but blood being shed would have ruined my appetite. And Kudos for making my day a brilliant and vibrant one. I really needed it. Got my adrenaline pumping!

Just Starting Out.

Well, I am just starting out my very FIRST official blog. I've really wanted to start Blogging but never really found the time, and now I am going to make myself blog and write and everything I really need to do to get my life up and running.
My sister is actually the main one who got me into the idea of blogging and I really enjoyed the thought of it to begin with. It's a way to meet people all over the world with the same interests. And a splendid way to let off steam!
A Little About Myself:
My name is Martha. I am quite young in age but old at heart.
My main goal in life it to get published and make millions in royalties! I think I am a "good" writer. Not really one to analyze my own works. People do often tell me I am a wonderful writer with a vibrant imagination. But, I don't really see it.
I'm also an artist! I just finished my AP Art portfolio! It was a horrendous journey in mines eyes. I did finish! And I do feel very accomplished! And today I also created a Youtube Channel that I do hope I get up and running soon, even though my videos will be utterly terrible. But everyone has to start somewhere!
Background?
Like most people, I do have a background, and it is, indeed, like most. I was once an egg in my mother and after nine months I turned into a very fat baby. I always thought that I was cue, but when I grew up I think otherwise. I was never an athlete or very good with my social skills and I'm always told I am a "Social Butterfly" when in truth I am socially awkward and a bit too frank. I have finally realized that when years past, my "filter" slowly starts to dissipate when, finally, it is no more then a mer memory of politeness. And thus brings us to....
HERE AND NOW!
I am a junior in high school! and to my surprise I have a decent amount of friends. I use to live in beautiful sunny Southern California, now I live in the cloudy PNW! WOOT! It isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, or as I thought long before now. It has really grown on me. With the greens and whatnots.
On a side note, I do miss my "Home" but here is much more.... less.... Dramatic!

So I think this is a good place to stop. Somewhere where it leaves room to talk about more then finishing the WHOLE life story and keep it tight knit.
Fair Thee Well!
