Well

Okay, how shall I say this? I DON'T USE THIS ANYMORE. SO SCREW YOU.

Oh, I'm kidding. I love you. All of you. Even Emmanuel. Buuut I lack time and inspiration for this poor ol' blog. I guess you need time and inspiration for blogs? Question mark?

I might make one o' them LiveJournals, since all the cool cats seem to have them these days. Actually, I have a LiveJournal. I just, uh... don't use it. Yet.

So see you there then? Maybe?

Cell Phone Epidemic

They’re the latest rage, and they can be seen nearly everywhere. Cell phones: their various ring tones and beeps have been signaling more and more calls and text messages in the streets, in homes, in stores, and even in Bonny Eagle. These pocket-sized devices have indeed revolutionized communication, but is it really necessary for teens to have cell phones? Chris Freeman, sophomore, doesn’t think so.

“I only have one because my mother bought me one,” says Chris. Cell phones are often a means for parents to contact their children here at school. Rather than going through redirections from the office to get in touch with their kids, calling them directly on cell phones is far easier.

Students also have cell phones for their own purposes. It’s a convenient way to contact friends. “At least twenty of my friends have cell phones that I can talk to them with,” says Alex Foster, junior. Also, as Brandon Smith, sophomore, points out, “You can play cool games on them.” These cell phone-based games can be a distraction during class. “But they’re good for study halls,” argues Brandon.

While cell phones are not permitted in Bonny Eagle, that doesn’t stop some students from concealing them in their bags and using them when no one’s looking. Often, this rule is not even enforced though. Some teachers simply turn a blind eye to them. So this brings up another question. Is the rule necessary?

“No. It’s absolutely stupid,” says Alex. Alex has learned that sometimes cell phones are the best way to learn of important news. One day during school, Alex was called via cell phone to learn that his father had died. His mother then picked him up to see his father. “If I didn’t have my cell phone, I probably would’ve waited at school and wouldn’t get to see my him again.” Surely this was the best possible way to relay that information. “It’s helpful in emergencies,” points out Max Farrington, sophomore.

Gonity Gonity Gone

As far as online friends go, I'm really feeling abandoned right now. I know I have alot more friends I know in real life reading this now, and you're probably not going to understand this. But the group of folks I've been hangin' 'round with on the net for what? Five years? They seem to have gone off to do their seperate things. Blah. Whatever. Even I "left" a few weeks ago.

Things are really boring with them now. No one's on MSN. Perhaps I should seek new net friendies. Too bad I've been TRYING that for the past SIX MONTHS. Too bad everyone I met SUCKED. Ah well. Least I got my school friends. You guys rock. :D

Kenn has a nice ass.

Homecoming?

School spirit, blah blah blah. I'll simply never undestand it.

Two Hour Delay

Whee! The school's trying something new this year. On the first Wednesday of almost every month, we get a late arrival. Today was the first day of this, and I loooved it! Two more hours of sleep. AWESOME.

But something that makes me sad: IT'S GETTING SO COLD. When I went out for the bus this morning, everything was white. Frost on everything. The cold months are sneaking up on us, and I hate it. I hate cold. Winter is horrible. Pretty. But horrible.

Weekend Stuff

Third Exhaulted game was yesterday. Muy fun. I won the best scene by attempting to fly off a boat. Rock. No game next Saturday though, since Chris is off in FLORIDA. With MICE. The BIG ONES.

Then later, I went to the mall with my sister. Got some movies. The Fifth Element, which is one of my favorite movies simply because of how bizarre it is, and the Cowboy Bobop movie. And my sister got some music for her wedding next year. Did I mention she got engaged this summer? :)

Then there was some movie rentage. Watched The Alamo, which was okay. Billy Bob Thornton is an awesome Davie Crockett though. :D

And when I woke up today, I attempted to fix her computer. But I guess I... uh... ended up... killing it. ;_; I think she's going to get a new one.

Political Crap

Oh man. Anyone see the presidential debate last night? All I gots to say is BUSH MUST GO. Talk about slow. I swear, a pause between every two words. And my god, everything he said seemed to be repeated twelve times throughout the debate. Meanwhile, Kerry seemed to be doing great. During Bush's ungodly drawn-out speeches, he seemed to be writing a novel over there. Or perhaps a hit list? "Note to self: KILL BUSH." XD

Honestly, I have no idea where Bush gets his support from. I don't really like Kerry either, but people would rather vote Bush?! AHHH! It really is an election for the lesser of two evils, but if I could vote, I'd be going for Kerry.

Just to make things clear, I'm not really a Democrat. Neither am I a Republican. Rather, I'm a big supported of Independents and Greens. But third party is probably the most retarded thing you could do in this election.

So, uh... VOTE KERRY.
