I have not been on in about a... century. At least that is what it feels like. I have been in a rut lately and am just now starting to pull myself out of it. I have no life... I realize that almost no one ever reads this damn thing so I thought it really didn't matter but I decided it is better to just get my ideas down regardless of whether it gets read or not (though it would be nice).
Exams are going on right now and I seem to be doing alright. I'm getting A's in classes that are academic for the first time since the 3rd Grade! Not even kidding. I have not done that well. Now what I hate is when people judge me solely on my grades. Honestly, and not trying to sound full of myself, I could outsmart over half the people that make that kind of assumption. Not even kidding. I just don't do my homework. My test scores are the only thing keeping me passing. But then there are people that know how smart I am and expect me to help them with everything. They need to help themselves.
I have no clue what I'm going to do this summer. Not. At. All. I'll be sitting around the house half dead and mopping. That is what I do. Sit and mope.
... People kinda suck. Some are just so damn IGNORANT!!! Do they even think that maybe there is just as much to criticize about themselves as they do to other people. I know I do sometimes but I try to be as mindful as possible unless I think that someone deserves my thoughts. It just seems like there is so much that they say without even realizing what they just said. They don't even think anything of it and that is the part that really irritates me. The ability to speak has been taken for granted in the American culture. It is so profound on how we are able to convey thoughts and ideas to others of our species it just dumbfounds me. If you think of it, what other creatures use language? NONE. They use verbalizations that are recognizable but not a language. The amount of conscious thought that is need to talk is so amazing. We don't even think about how to form a word. What kind of memory does that take. A LOT. We have even surpassed language. We can make poems, stories, and connections that go beyond the mere meaning of a word and make it something new. It is just simply sublime. Then there are those people that just rape the English language. Slang doesn't tick me too much, but just the shortening of EVERY word. Its just barbaric. We have language to fully communicate and we just slash through it and bring it down a notch. I swear. When I here the popular people talk I think I'm listening to the primal grunts of a long lost missing link between us and apes (that's right. Evolution).
This is only one of my thoughts. I still have even more deep ones. Just wait.

About the raping of the English language? I admit that I've raped it plenty too. But I love language, and think it's beautiful. Which is why I like trying to write/type the whole words out. I've thought about it like you have too. But I've also thought about the fact of just existing. It perplexes me, and then the next moment...Bam. Logical again. But I'm rambling now, aren't I?
ReplyDeleteOnto the next thing. I'll admit, once again, that I thought you weren't that smart. But you've proven me wrong time and time again, so I've learned to accept it this year. You're smart. Naturally. It's kind of awesome, isn't it? But honestly, I like it when people underestimate...It's fun to prove them wrong. And then if they don't know you're smart, they don't bother you for answers. Win-win in my eyes. But that's me.
Sorry this is so long. Just wanted you to know I read this. I plan on reading the others too. I never update my own blog, and no one reads it, but I don't care. I've never been into diary-esque things anyway. But it works for you.
You're a good writer.
Summer sucks. I'll be doing nothing too. Mope mope. Same here.
But. AP chem next year? Yesssss (I shouldn't be so exited, AP kills me, urk).
