Eccentricities. Feeling querulous. And bigwordulous. Multisyllabic? Yeah.
I'm fairly certain that I would do at least semi-decently in school were I to just get off the internet and study.
Of course, that would not follow my personality in the least. My parents would probably be so shocked that they'd assume I was a martian who'd stolen the body of their daughter, so they'd pull their government strings and get their FBI connections to come take me away, which would cause a huge media scandal and send the world spiraling into a massive anarchist uprising, eventually ending in the depolyment of nuclear weaponry and causing the apocalypse.
So instead I'm just going to finish this blog entry like I normally would.
Okay, I don't know how much of my avid, devoted million-person readership uses Facebook, but for anyone who does, what do you think of the whole "Fan Page" feature? For those who don't know, Facebook has a function where you can become a fan of a certain page, and it'll show up on your profile so you can declare to all of your friends/creepy pedophile stalkers that yes, you are a fan of snow globes.
Anyway, the variety of fan pages that people make never cease to amuse me. Today I noted that 28 of my friends have become fans of "not being on fire." Myself, I'm a fan of sarcasm, pizza, and sleeping.
Another popular Facebook function is the "LivingSocial" application, which I must admit is a fairly entertaining use of all the free time I have when I should be doing homework. The use of LivingSocial is simple - you just choose a category ("Movies," "TV Shows," "Things to Have When A Zombie Attacks") from their list, then choose your top five. There's a pretty common trend among people who partake in this choosing of their Top Five anything, and I'm going to do you the privilege of telling you the exact formula of your average Facebook-using teenage conformist.
Let's use the example of "5 Things I've Wanted to be When I Grow Up." First, just choose two things that you actually have wanted to do. But make sure they make you look very cool and very mainstream ("singerrrr!! like lady gaga omggg!!" ; "teacherr =)"). Second, choose one thing that you probably have not wanted to be, but that makes everyone think, "Wow. That's a smart, good person." For bonus points, choose something you know nothing about and make that clear to anyone with half a brain cell. ("botanical engineer!! so i can make a car that runs on water and save the world <3").>
Fourth and finally, choose "Chuck Norris." Because everyone will think you are very cool for choosing Chuck Norris. Be warned, though - it might not make sense in context. Ignore this, and proceed.
Much Love,
Anna.

About Me
- So, basically...
- I like bright colors and loud music and people who make me laugh. I like being sarcastic and being confusing and being anyone I want to be that isn't anyone else. I like making people happy and making people think and making cupcakes and making movies. If you have my sense of humor, you've won my heart.

Aww, I know what you mean, I get that when I make references back to Heroes (like randomly shouting, "BRING SYLAR BACK, YOU MORONIC SCREENWRITERS! HE'S THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE WATCHED THE SHOW!" in math class), and nobody understands.
There are several things wrong with the above statement: I don't make references to Heroes, I don't shout in the middle of math class, and Sylar was not the only reason people watched the show, though he's a pretty good chunk of it.
Really, though, no one watches it.
So, what's new with life? I miss have comments.
Yay! Facebook! Double yay, Heroes!!
I like that Heroes isn't mainstream, Red. same with my other fave shows, Hustle and Being Human. But then Doctor Who and Friends are very mainstream. So.
You may be wondering how I'm able to reel off so effortlessly my favourite 5 television shows. That would be because I did a livingsocial on it just a few days ago! I only do the ones I actually have something to say about though, like the ones people might actually want to hear about.
Fan pages are stupid. People just see them in their highlights and think "Oh yeah, I've eaten fizzy blue cola bottles before. I liked them.". What also annoys me is the grammatically incorrect ones e.g. being a fan of "I hate exams!!!". Don't forget the multiple exclamation marks! The being a fan of not being on fire did the rounds here a few weeks ago. A prime stupid example.
oh laf. so true. livingsocial isnt about what you like, it's about what you want other people to think you like. and it's free advertising for every movie, book, or person out there. it's amazing. i use it every day even though i know it's an individuality trap.
bless!!!!

What happened to two of your posts???
Hahaha, sorry to disappoint you, but as of now, I don't actually 'do' newspaper. I missed the first meeting in sixth grade and last year I couldn't think of anything to write, so I dropped out. This year my parents are making me write something, or I'm not allowed to join drama. Ugh.
