Rant #3: R-tards on the Internet

Okay, you know what really pisses me off? People who use the wrong “you’re” when writing. Call me a grammar Nazi, but it’s really annoying. I see stuff like, “your so stupid” and I think, “this coming from someone who doesn’t know simple grammar? Nice going, dumbass.”

Another thing that gets me is people who type like total noobs. Seriously, do you think we’re unimportant enough that we should have to work to read what you, the most important person on Internet, has to say? Or are you just too lazy to make your sentences coherent? I’m sitting next to this girl in study hall who types out stuff like, “omg this class taeks 4ever 2 get out, but itz ovurrr in like 5minz lolololol.” Okay, really. GET. A. LIFE. It’s people like you that make the rest of us who frequent the Internet look immature. Are you sure you’re not overcompensating for your lack of social prowess, so not only do you not have any friends in real life, you’re already ruining any chance you might have had of making friends online. Take the dick out of your ass and learn to type.

I am so depressed.

The last performance of the school play E/R was last night, and it was a fantastic show. All three nights were good, actually... But now that it's over, I'm kinda sad. For the two months leading up to it, I had a life. Now that I don't have to do that anymore, I get to go back to having no life. It pretty much sucks. I used to complain that I had to stay after school for two hours three days in a row, and now I miss it. Twisted, huh?

Here's hoping I make it into Little Shop of Horrors.

RIP Cleo 1996-2008

We had to put Cleo down today. I still can't get over it. I keep wanting her to be upstairs every time I go. I keep thinking, She can't be gone... But we couldn't have kept her alive much longer. She had this degenerative disease that was eating at her spinal cord. Her back legs were already starting to fail, and she was in constant pain. It's better that we let her go quickly and painlessly.

I'm still distraught. I've had her since I was 3. She's been around almost as long as Aidan, and nearly 3 years longer than Josh. She was as much a part of the family as any of us.

The entire house is grieving, even Maddie. She hasn't ran around as much, or played as much, since she realized Cleo was gone. We're all feeling the same way, but it's difficult to tell who was affected most. It was either me or Mom. Aidan and Josh weren't there, and Kris didn't know her as long.

Actually I think that's what made it hard for me, was being there. Seeing her in her last moments alive, so peppy, even in pain. I'm glad I did, though. Maybe it'll help me get over it faster, knowing I was one of the last things she saw.

I'm keeping her collar. Forever. That'll be my everyday reminder of my greatest companion.

RIP Cleo 1996-2008. You will be missed.

Rant #2: The Internet

You know what really pisses me off? Those stupid chain bulletins on MySpace. You know what I'm talking about, those 'repost or you'll die at 2:12 a.m. because a clown with herpes and a blue penis lives under your bed and wants to eat your soul while using your computer to crash Google and Yahoo.' They get so stupid, it might as well be something like that. And what's even more sad is that people believe that crap. How dumb do you have to be to believe something like that? I mean, my GOD, people, grow a brain! Next time, before you repost one of those stupid bulletins, check Snopes, then slap yourself upside the head for not knowing that it wasn't real in the first place.

I've been checking out Nintendoland a lot, and the forums have grown so much since I joined up. If you're a fan of Nintendo and wanna talk with other fans of Nintendo, I would advise you to sign up. Tell 'em kirbyviper93 sent ya. (nods)

Speaking of the Internet, check out some of these webcomics: Questionable Content, xkcd, Sam and Fuzzy, and Brawl in the Family. I have inspected them all and approved them for your viewing pleasure. They're all quite interesting, so check 'em out.

One last thing before I go: next time you're on Google, search "finding Chuck Norris." The results are hilarious.

Rant #1: Life

Our basement flooded last night. It's really annoying, cuz the rug in the downstairs foyer is still soaked. I wish it would dry up faster, cuz I've nearly slipped and hit my head several times now.

My parents are gone for the week, and my grandma's here to take care of us. Not like I mind having her here, but I'm fifteen now. You'd think that would be old enough to take care of the house for a few days. Of course, they may just be having her over as a precautionary measure; maybe they think I'll sneak Jenna over or something.

Speaking of Jenna, things with us are better than ever. She was over today, and I didn't want her to leave. We've been talking about... different things, and... well, let's just say there's a lot to consider, and a lot I can't say.

Emily and I are back to talking like we used to. She seems to have finally found the right guy for her, and I'm glad for that. She needed someone like that after being hurt for so long.

Life is pretty good right now, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

New iPod!!

I finally got my iPod! It's an 8-GB black iPod Nano. It cost me nearly 250 bucks, including the $30 replacement warranty. It's really cool, though, so it was worth it.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to use it, since my computer's fried, but my mom let me put all the music on her computer, so that's what I'm doing now.

But on the non-technological side, my friendships with Alysha and Emily seem to be getting stronger, whereas my relationship with Jenna may be in danger. It's not like I'd rather have the situation reversed, but I don't want things to go awry with Jenna. Oh well, hopefully we can work this out.

So yeah, that's it for now. More to come later.
