Awkward Situation


Hello Internet,

So, today I went to attend my friend's birthday party. Well, since my friend and I had to go to different schools, we have a different group of friends. Well, my friend's friends were new to me.

So, I, as my nervous self around new people, kept quiet around them and tried to stay away from most of the talking, since I didn't know what type of jokes they like, the websites the like, the games they enjoy playing. I let the others do most of the talking while I simply did my thing.

I didn't say most of the jokes I would say around my friends since I knew what type of jokes they liked, and some of the jokes my friend's friends told, I didn't find funny whatsoever.

I felt awkward and isolated. It was like the feeling the day I started school. I didn't want to talk to anyone since I went to a different school than the rest of my friends.

Well, that's enough about me. What about you? What do you do when you are with a group of people that you don't know that much about? Post a comment and share your own thoughts.

Well, thanks for reading,

Family Fun Time

Hello Internet,

2 things. First, 60th post, yay!

Anyways, the second thing would be that I went to the zoo with my family today. We walked for practically 5 or so hours. Our feet at the end were very sore, however, it was very fun going there. We saw many different animals, and all that stuff, the only thing would be that I already saw those animals at least 5 times before.

The good thing about this trip, however, would be that I got to spend lots of time with my family, which is good. We took many pictures and we had a good time. We visited the usual, except one area since we were way to tired.

Well, I'm tired right now anyways, so I will like to simply say: happy Easter Sunday/Monday, depending if you celebrate or just take the Monday off. So, how did you spend your Easter, or how to you plan to spend your day off, if you have one? Post your comments and share what your doing this holiday.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid and How to Train Your Dragon

Hello Internet,

Last Saturday I went to watch two movies: Diary of a Wimpy Kid and How to Train Your Dragon.

I'll start off with Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid really wasn't that good of a movie. If you are about 8 years old and you enjoyed the book, I would assume you would like this movie. Otherwise, I would recommend you stay away from this movie.

The acting was good, it's just the characters. They have a very cliche personality. A middle school kid who is just a jerk, until he learns his lesson at the end of the movie, an older brother who is mean to his little brother, etc. Everything you'd expect about a stereotypical Caucasian family with 3 kids.

The story is basically the usual lesson that you learn in grade 1. Don't discriminate and be a good friend by sticking up for them.

So, again, if you liked the book, check it out, but don't expect anything good. I would give this movie a 5/10.

Now, How to Train Your Dragon was actually a good movie. How to Train Your Dragon had intense action scenes which kept me on the edge of my seat.

The story, however, was a typical "find someone/thing that character likes, but gets rejected". Alright, so maybe you don't get as many movies like that, which is really good.

There's not much to say about the movie without spoiling it, but it is indeed a very good movie. Go watch it. I would rate this movie a 8/10.

Well, that's just my opinion, if you read the book of either movie, or watched the movie, tell me, did you enjoy it? Did you loathe it? Post your comments below.

Bringing home an instrument

Hello Internet,

My school has a stings program in which I have to take otherwise I won't get a mark for it. So, I tried out the bass first, then the viola. I decided to stick with the bass because I wanted to play it.

Well, in case you didn't know, a bass is an extremely large instrument. Well, since it is the long weekend, I decided to take it home. I wanted to practice over the weekend.

My mom picked me up from school so I could actually transport the bass home. When I actually put it down in my room, I noticed it was about half the size of my room.

Later that night I practiced for about a half hour. It was fun and my sister helped me a bit since she use to have that same teacher when she went to my school.

Not much else happened, but I guarantee that I won't be taking it home unless there is a long weekend. I just had to get a post out.

Bad Editor

Hey Internet,

So I had some assignment edited by someone in my class and I read it around 5 minutes ago and boy it was some terrible editing that person did.

First off, he was able to track changes, but he was unable to make comments, so he put a little insertion at the end of the paragraph that needed a bit of changing. He did very little editing (of course) and he added or removed some words that should be there.

His editing didn't make any sense to me.

Well, I edited his assignment and I tried my best. I omitted any unnecessary words and made decent comments. He would insert a word in the middle of the sentence where it only stated one person and the word "he" and he would put "WHO?", all in capital letters. Also, he barely made any changes. With me, at least one change per paragraph, and that's still bad for me.

Well, when I sent him his copy that I edited, I added a little note saying not to edit my work until he learns to edit work (it was a polite note).

Well, that's the end of my story, what's yours? Have you had a bad editor? Are you one of them who can't edit for beans? Post your comments below.

How Come...


Hello people of the world that is called the Internet,

If you are reading my blog, I thank you (like I do at the end of each post) and I ask that you comment, however, I only find about 1 comment every now and then and that's from a friend (seriously, go check out his blog at tmlsblog.blogspot.com).

So, today's question would be why doesn't anyone post comments? I feel like nobody is actually reading my posts, but just visiting it for fun.

I think that either people aren't actually reading my blog, they don't have an account at Blogspot or they are too shy to comment.
