Rants&Randomness
This is where I come to let out all my rants or random ideas about random things since I don't want to keep clouding my friends' news feed on Facebook. I'll try to post every Sunday as of 9/13

Things That Annoy Me Part 2: My organization and memorization
So, as you can tell by now, both of those suck. Badly. I can't remain organized enough to set aside time for a blog, and I can't remember it even if I do. In my defense I can now blame it on work and school. Which honestly my organization and memorization are terrible there to. I have one notebook for everything, all stuffed in the bottom of my 'Bag of Wonder'. So this often leads to me forgetting about an assignment until last minute. Then I have to rush it and get it done in that class because I can't work on it at home because of work. Then at work we get to play this fun memorization game where we have to learn a much of stuff that restates its self a little differently each time. I get paid minimum wage to work my butt off and memorize stuff. Doesn't fast food sound like fun? Oh yeah, I didn't mention that did I? No, I don't work for a nice or even semi-nice restaurant where it would be understandable. No. I work for fast food. 52% of our customers couldn't give a rats ass if we work smarter not harder, as long as we get them their food fresh, fast, and it tastes good. Well this went from things that annoy me to rant really fast. Oh well. Same thing. See, it's another example of how crappy my organization skills are.... It's 1:30am... I have to wake up at 6am for school, work at 4:30.... I should probably go to bed now. At least I remembered that!

Things that annoy me part 1: Religion
Firstly, I have nothing against religious people, nor nonrelgious people.
Secondly, Just because I argue in favor of something does not mean I agree, or condone it, and this does not mean that I don't agree or condone with the things I argue for.
Hmm. Religion. This is one of the trickiest things to rant about. Firstly, I'll state: I know close to nothing about it. And no, I don't want to. I believe what I believe and if you respect that I'll respect whatever you believe. Simple as that. And another thing, religion is one of those things that you don't want to argue with me about in person. Because if you're one of those people that only you can be write I'll be one to and I'll argue science. And believe me I'll win. I argue in favor of religion against atheist and it never wins, but I do learn how to make you question every ounce of your faith. Whether I believe in a God or multiple ones or Heaven or Hell is not the point here, because I am 100% unsure myself. At the end of the day I believe what I believe (I may end up stating what exactly that is on most days at some point but probably not.) and it's not always the same but there isn't a thing you can do to change my mind.
Okay, now lets get this ball a'rollin'.
It's not so much that religion it's self annoys me, but religious (okay, So I really only know Christians.) people, and not all of them. Just the ones that fit the stereotypes, there's to many though! Saying that I'm tempted to change the title to 'Some Religious people' instead, but we'll see where this goes in the next 15 minutes. Oookay so last week when I said I would write about religion, I had a better Idea of what to say than I do now. I should had just wrote it then. Dang it. But I guess we'll start with my they annoy me.
Religious people always know what God hates.
It's one thing to have a religion. It's one thing to belong to a religion. It's one thing to be controlled by a religion. It's one thing to be religious. But it's an entirely different thing to be obsessed with religion, or to try and control other peoples religions. The people that you see in front of the white house with signs saying 'God hates fags' and 'Fags are going to Hell' well you know what? Maybe he does, but have you asked him? Does it say anywhere it the Bible (if it does please correct me and tell me the exact line) anything other than 'man shall not lie with man' because you can take that anyway you want. Speaking in old language women are sometimes referred to as 'man' because it's a species. But nope. You'd rather see that and think 'God hates fags' instead of 'Don't have sex' why? because you enjoy one of them and the other grosses you out. But you know what? Maybe he didn't want the world to be as big as it is. Maybe he wanted humans and animals to share it evenly and for humans to eventually die out not take over the entire thing. 'he wouldn't want that. or he wouldn't have created us.' Well I'm pretty sure he created the animals to and most of you enjoy killing them for fun you heartless jerks. But that's not my point. My point is stop telling us what he hates and doesn't hate. Because I'm pretty sure somewhere in the Good Ol' Book it says 'Thou shalt not judge' or something like that. I says something about when you die he will judge you and he's judgement is the only one that matters. So I just want to pick up a sign 'Maybe He hates judgmental jerks! But I don't know I've never met him. Have you? Would you like to? Stop being judgmental and let God be in charge of their fate. Worry about your own. Because think of how many times someone who is gay is bullied and called fag and told God hates them, think of how many of those hear it so often they commit suicide. Eventually that stuff gets to people and when they do, the blood may be on their hands, and they may or may not be punished for not being strong enough, but at the end of the day, God sees what you did. He sees how you tortured the gay boy and told him that God hates him and don't think God won't see your part in his death to.'
Well now that I just told you you're going to Hell for saying Gays will let's move on
Religious people get to determine what's right and wrong for everyone.
This one will probably be fairly short. Not everyone is a religious person with a soul or empathy or a heart so stop telling them what to do! Okay, well that pretty much wraps that one up. Guess I'm done now. My fifteen minutes are up and I've said what I feel really needs to be said. So I may come back and add on or I may not. We'll see where the procrastination takes me.

Rant #4: A really touchy subject.
Here is the follow up to the post where I mentioned it would have a longer follow up.
I would like to start by saying that I apologize ahead for the horrible organization and all that good stuff. I’m very jittery and will change topics often. Most will be touchy subjects. You’ve been warned. But it was brought on by a picture I saw earlier on the Being Liberal page (I liked it so it would stop recommending it) and the comments on it. Here ->
Secondly, this is my rant over my opinions about… well we’ll see where it goes. Don’t get offended. I’ll probably touch on a few stereotypes, if you’re part of a group I mention and don’t belong to the stereotype, well then good for you. This isn’t made to offend. Okey doke. How do I start this? Well I’ll start with me rewriting (because that’ll make it better and worse. and a whole Hell of a lot longer.) my comment on the picture. and then we’ll see where it takes us…. This isn’t like my normal rants. I apologize. But I’ll probably end up arguing both sides.
First topic: Abortion. (see touchy subject right? I’ll state here that in no way do I support abortion. At all. But it’s your choice you have to live with. Not mine. So it’s your business not mine.)
When it comes to the topic of abortion the first things you hear from the people against it are “You shouldn’t be having sex if you’re not ready for a child.” Firstly, while some of you may have a right to say that half of you probably weren’t married when you had a kid, weren’t ready when you had a kid, and started having sex before you were ready. I’m not judging, you’re human. What else can you expect. Everyone makes mistakes.
Then we see the “It’s what adoption is for.” Yes, adoption is good. But think of it. Foster homes, adoption centers, and such things are packed because of all the children that have to be given up. Have you heard the reports on some of the foster homes? While yes, there are a lot of good ones there are also a lot of horrible ones full of people just in it for the money. “The laws and codes have gotten better.” yeah yeah yeah. Hush. We’re just finding out about kids who have been kidnapped for 18 years living next door to everyday people. Law enforcement still needs work. It’ll be perfect nor catch everyone who needs to be caught. No offense.
Next we have “Some people can’t have kids. It’s not fair that you’ll give up a kid and prevent others from having kids.” *See above, adoptions* Not everyone gets an abortion right now. And there will always be tons of people who won’t because of religious/moral views.
Anyway, “Why should our tax dollars go to paying for the killing of unborn children?” You pay for the food, and water of people who have murdered and tortured innocent people. It’s messed up. Very much so. But so is everything. Plus I really don’t see why I should have to pay tax dollars toward courts and law enforcement and all that stuff. I shouldn’t have to pay just because you need someone to catch the guy that robbed you on the side of the street. Not my fault you can’t protect yourself now is it? See what kind of sense does that make….
Then there’s the (Really touchy subject coming up, read with an open mind or stop reading.) “It’s wrong.” According to what? Religion. Not everyone follows your religion and not everyone ever will. There’s a fantastic reasoning behind ‘The separation of Church and State’ Not everyone goes to church. Not everyone has a religion and not every religion is the same. If it was the world would be a much more peaceful place wouldn’t it? Anyway, just because you don’t think something is right doesn’t mean you should be allowed to take away that choice for everyone else does it? If that was the case… Okay don’t know enough about religions to have a valid point here. I was going to say ‘Atheists would take away religion, *STEREOTYPE WARNING* Christians (stressing the take no offense. Not all Christians are like this, but we can all admit there are some. and I’m not judging. their choice not mine.) would take away… well everything.’ those are the only ones I know about. So I can’t really have a valid point on this one. But I’ll do my research and rant about religion next Sunday, on my blog. Anyway where was I? Oh yes, the abortion topic. So, yeah. My point is. Just because you and a lot of others believe something is wrong doesn’t mean you should get to decide that for everyone. Because just as many if not more people may believe it’s right. Or that it should be their choice to chose not yours. Look at the Amish. They don’t use electricity, they don’t demand that everyone shouldn’t. They don’t judge those who use it. Hek, they even allow their children to go out into the world and check things out before they choose to live the Amish life. Yet a lot people accuse their children of ‘going off the path’ or ‘going towards Satan’ if they even have friends of a different religion. But here I am ranting about religion way to early, and getting off topic. I’ll stop now. Anyway lets argue the supporters of abortion.
Okay, the supporting side is more difficult because not many supporters voice it… over the internet that is. But I guess the main one is “What if a female is raped?” There’s really nothing to argue about that though. I mean you can argue both sides, but at the end of the day, she’s just been traumatized her. Are you really going to tell her that she has to be made fun of in school or church or anywhere for nine months while she carries a child by the worse kind of person? And she’ll have to live with it forever. ‘oh she had a kid when she was _ _’ ‘She gave her child up for adoption, she should have kept her legs closed’ You can think of a thousand more. Are you really going to tell her that she has to go through that? Because you don’t think it’s right for her (Most people will want to skip this part) kill an unborn, child that can’t feel, can’t think, and will never know what’s happening, while she will feel the sting of every insult laid upon her? That just seems a bit messed up to me. I can’t think of any other arguments for the supporting side, but I think that one will work just fine. While it may seem that I am condoning it, I’m not. But in some circumstances it is understandable. But if you don’t fit the circumstances it’s still your choice. Not mine. So do what you will.
Topic 2: Animal abuse. (yes, I did just connect these to. and some of you may want to skip this part entirely.)
I find it a bit messed up that people will fight for unborn, unfeeling, unthinking, unbreathing member of a race with a population of over 7 billion until the end of their lives but when acted about animal rights ‘I don’t care. Animals aren’t people’. No but people are animals. I’ve already touched on this subject before so I’ll just wrap this up real quick. Humans can kill any animal that steps into their territory for ‘fear of their safety’ when it may be simply looking for food to support itself and family but if we go into an animal's habitat and approach it and it’s baby with some foreign object like a camera and it attacks us it’s savage and we will kill it for protecting itself and family. That’s a bit messed up also.

Randomness #3: The Past
We all have those days where it's perfect. The sun's shining, the temperature is almost perfect and you can't wait until it is time for you to go outside. Then BAM! Thinking of the past. Now you're mood is completely different. In this rant I'm going to stress right now that this is directed at the general public based on personal experiences. I'm saying this because this is one of those subjects that I have no idea where I'm taking it. Okay, so back on subject.
The past is annoying to think about because pretty much everything in it you miss, and what you don't miss, well there's a reason you don't miss it isn't there?
The past is filled with so much. The places we grew up that we don't get to be everyday. The friends we made, the friends we lost. The family we never got to know, the family we knew all to well, and the family that we knew for so long only for them to to no longer be here. (I know, there's a better way to phrase that, I just can't figure it out.)
The past if filled with so many memories and the tiniest thing can bring back a thousand. A picture, a place, a smell, view, even a ray of sun. It's the perfect days that bring on the most powerful memories of all. When the sun is just right, the clouds are perfect, the temperature amazing. These days are the days we long for. The days we spend all year waiting for. But when it comes for the first time in a long time it brings back so much. On these days the past isn't sad. It's...sullen. Yeah, sullen, that seems like the right word. It makes you just want to lay outside and remember. Remember the good times, remember the bad. Remember those you've loved, those who loved you, and those in between.

Remember those you've loved, those who loved you, and those in between.
The past can reveal so many things about who we used to be, but none of what we are. The way you deal with the past today makes you who you are tomorrow.
Okay, that last line couldn't have sounded more cliche, but it's true. The only way the past can tell us who we are is the way we deal with it. If we deal with it in a bitter way, we're a bitter person. If we never let go of it we'll never move on. That's one thing about the past. Some people live in it. They can't accept that it's the past. They have to get it back. But it's the past for a reason. If you can't let go of your past, you can't move on to the future. Some people (I used to be one) spend weeks, months, years, even a life time living in the past and trying to get it back, that they don't realize how many opportunities that they're missing out on. But once they finally realize it and make one of the hardest decisions in the world- moving on from what's holding you back- their world is opened up and they see the opportunities. Just seeing the things that could be will put you in a so much better place than constantly staring at the things that were.
Whether it's a job, a life, a relationship, what ever it could possibly be, there are so many better ones out in the world waiting. Waiting on you to look forward and see them.
So when it comes to the past, don't forget it. There's so many important memories, while they may not seem like it now when you take an occasion to look back in the future you'll want to remember. The people, the places, the jobs, the achievements, the fails. They make you what you are. But only you can decide who you will be. If you live in the past you'll miss out so much. Every day of living in the past is another missed opportunity, Everyday living for that day is so many opportunities you could have, but every day living for tomorrow is so many opportunities that you can have if you just try.
Moral of the story? Relish in the past when you can, on the occasion but don't live there. Move on with life and take every opportunity you can.
Yes, I'm aware I went through 50 topics and ended on one that had nothing to do with any of them. But hey the blogs or for my random thoughts. Bye :)

Rant # 3: Idiots. Part one.
Idiots, what would the world be with out
them? Peaceful? Boring? Better? What defines someone as an idiot? Truth
is, we're all idiots. At least to someone, somewhere, at some time or
another. Some people call us an idiot because of the choices we make, or
don't make. Or when we do something fun/stupid. Maybe you're thinking
I'm an idiot for writing this. I wouldn't argue. Especially since this
was supposed to be a rant about how idiots get
on my nerves so bad, or how much of an idiot I am. Which lately I'm beginning to think is more and more.
Idiots Annoying Me and the General Public
It seems some people are just born to annoy us. Some people I think do
it on purpose. And those are the ones that need to be thrown through an
airplane window while it's going how ever fast they go how ever many
miles in the air. Others don't mean to do it. They're just being
themselves and it just so happens most people find it annoying. Those
are the ones I feel sorry for and if they don't get on my nerves to bad
I'll try to be-friend. And if they do get on my nerves I'll just sit
back and feel sorry for them. But I'm not going to talk to them and try
to help them change to fit in with reality. Because that's not them. And
sooner or later they'll find someone who likes their annoying
personality. Then they'll be friends or more than friends and happy
until one of them goes and screws everything up and ruins every bit of
friendship they ever had and now I'm ranting about something completely
off topic and I should save for another day. So anyway back on the topic
of Idiots, and I completely forgot what I was going to say at the
beginning of this rant. That is a perfect example of me being an
Idiot....To be continued...Maybe...
Me being an Idiot.
See for some reason I honestly thought that I could go to school and keep peace between people who have been fighting their whole lives even though they're more a like than ANYONE in this world. Well, firstly I'm an idiot because I put my trust in all the wrong people, I put to much faith in those I know don't deserve it. Why?... Well, I guess being an idiot works out perfectly for that answer now doesn't it? For some reason after I began to think that being a peacekeeper might be easier than I thought because they'd both try for me I honestly thought I could also have a bit of general happiness. But nope. Can't have peace in the family and complete happiness in the friends(ish) department. And I guess you can say karma struck me down for even thinking that and being so greedy. How dare I. So now I'm back to the way things were. No peace and no complete happiness in the friends(ish) department.

Randomness #2: Change
Tricky topic change is. You don't really notice it at first or while it's happening but then after it's done you think about it and realize 'Wow, that's completely different'. I'm mostly talking about change in surroundings, and life in general but interpret it anyway you'd like. Take a moment and think back to say ten years ago. Do you still live in the same place? Have you moved? What's it like in that place we used to call home? Small cities become crowed cities, crowed cities become violent with crime rates going through the roof, suburban areas become urban areas, way out in the country becomes suburban. The farms we used to pass on our way to school are now McDonald's. The houses we used to pass and picture old couples living a happy life in have been sold to construction companies. Farms become homes and homes becomes stores. Our best friends in Kindergarten don't even know our names by high school. The people we always thought we'd never lose touch with slowly fade away until it's hard to call them more than acquaintance. The people we swore we'd marry in middle school we swear we never knew in high school. But now I'm just rambling, the purpose of this was to really think, not so much to get you to think but to think in general.
Did you used to drive around an area all the time but didn't for a year or even a couple months? Then when you go back you can picture it just the way it was but now everything's different, roads are added, neighborhoods were built, more traffic, less relaxing. But still you know your way around like the back of your hand. It seems like everything's changing now in days. We may notice the changes while they're happening but it's not the same as when you look back and everything's different. The home we used to call home is no longer our home, or maybe it is but have you realized how much it's changed since you were little? If you move houses or states a lot maybe you can't relate to this but think about how your families have changed, were you and your sister/brother always so close? Have you strayed apart?
Some people like change, some people beg for it, some people just accept it and move on, others don't like it at all. Me? I'm a mix between all three. I accept the changes that have been made but look back and wish things were the exact same as when I was little, and yet I think of the future and beg for something bigger, brighter. To travel the world, or just get out of state see what else there is out there. Instead of being stuck in a place that's so familiar and holds so many memories of places that don't exist anymore or places that are to crowed. Yet I know when I get out of here I'll come back to see family, or maybe just come back because people usually do, and I'll see everything has changed even more then when I left. And I'll hate that to.
Change is all around us. It controls us. Controls the speed we travel. Maybe we need to make some changes to change our path, to get where we want. Maybe the change we need is technology to catch up to our ideas, maybe we don't need any change at all but we'll get it anyway and have to adapt to it. We can hate the changes all we want but in the end we have to live with it. We may not be the ones making the changes that effect us most but there's nothing we can do but adapt. Sure, we can fight the changes but by doing that it'll in some way some how change you. Maybe it changes people's view of you, maybe it changes your view of yourself. Who knows but no matter what change will happen and all we can do is live with it.

Randomness #1: Realist POV
I've never saw myself as being much of a realist but I guess I kind of am. Or I guess I'm a pessimist, maybe they're the same thing. Let's be honest, we spend all our school years trying to make friends, trying to fit in somewhere. Then we shed tears when graduation comes and the realization sets in that we'll never see most of them again. Even though we new that all along. You and your best friend say that you'll be friends for ever, keep in touch after school, but eventually both of you, or one of you, get busy and caught up in your new life you forget about each other. You may stay in touch occasionally but it'll never really be same. Now, lets play the scenario where you both go to the same college. You prolong the life of the friendship for another, what? Two years? Four? Then you end the same way you would have if you didn't go to the same college.
We strive for that moment of complete happiness, only to be disappointed afterward because no other moments live up to that. We strive for the perfect relationship even though we know that the odds for it lasting for the rest of our lives are against us. Even if it does last we won't both die at the same time, one of us will be left alone only to miss what we had or remarry and doing it all over again.
We strive for that perfect job even though at any moment it could all fall apart, we mess up and get fired. Budget cuts and we get fired. We get a promotion that we've been dying for and it's not all it we thought it would be. Why strive for something when every good thing in life will end eventually and could end at any moment? Why make friends only for them to turn around choose someone else over you? There are very few people who stay friends for the rest of their lives, even fewer of those have long and happy life. Which brings me to my next question.
What is a long and happy life? Is it 60 years of solid happiness? That may be what we strive for but that's impossible. Is it 60 years of happiness and sadness where there's more happiness than sadness? Is it determined by the things we accomplish? Those who have the most always seem to be saddest.
I know that's not always true. None of the things I've written are always true besides the simple fact that everything ends. Except your true and final death. That my friends is the only thing that lasts forever. It's the one solid thing (yes, I mean besides plants, trees, rivers, oceans, etc. smartass.) that lasts a life time. I realize some of you (well there's no one who reads this but it sounds nice) will say "That's not true, after death you go to Heaven or Hell." That may be true. (I'm not sure yet. The whole idea of religion confuses me. I believe that it's possible there's a God and all but who knows for sure?) Aaaanyway but regardless only your soul goes there. Your body stays dead. If you would like to argue that your body goes to Heaven or Hell also tell that to the people who have to dig up graves for crime stuff. I know God's really power and all but from what I hear about the Devil I'm pretty sure he'd be one to mess with people and not return the body when he finds out about the people digging it up. Or maybe that's just me.
This turned from my depressing thought on life to a show of my f'd up since of humor that isn't that humorous. Oh well. I was bored. Clearly I need a life. But why? It's just going to end. Hopefully in a fun way. I'd like to die in a way no one would expect. A way that after the sadness goes away people could smile or laugh at. Maybe get hit by a train (you won't get the true irony and hilarity of that. Unless you're one person) Or a bridge collapsing (I don't like going over bridges) Or from an overly nutritionized diet. (picky eater) Or lack of protein. (I like chicken) Or maybe from the most average death a person can have. (which I wish I could name off something like a heart attack or cancer, but those are all to likely possibilities given history) Maybe I'll get killed by a hobo. (7-8th grade) Or stalker.(9-present) I'm just going to stop since no one that reads this is going to get any of the references.

Rant # 2: People and texting
There are many many things I could say about this topic, but the thing that's annoying me today is when you text someone for two or so solid weeks and talk about everything possible, you occasionally still text but it gets boring fast. Then one day they say, "You never text me anymore". So you text them, and the conversation goes something like this: Me: Hey. Them: Hey :) Me: What's up? Them: nm u Me: Just laying around bored. Them: Cool (or) lol (conversation killer) Me: Yep. You don't complain I never text you if when I do you're going to send a conversation killer that far into the conversation. No matter how many times I tell them why I don't text them that much they still do it, and complain that I don't text them enough. I try to revive the conversation which works for a short amount of time before they kill it again with "lol". Some of you are probably thinking "Well that's because they probably don't actually want to text you. " That's what I'm saying, but why keep complaining I never text them. Yes, that could be just being polite, but that's not really necessary when you talk to the person every day. You say that as a way of saying "we should keep in touch" or "we need need to talk more" or something like that. If you see the person everyday and hang out with them during school a lot, there's really no need to say that unless you actually want to text, and it's annoying!
Another thing dealing with texting, when you text someone and they reply an hour later. I get that you're busy, but if I think that I'm going to stay busy for a while I won't reply until I'm done being busy. This way the person I reply doesn't get a text and think "Yay, I'll have someone to talk to now". Because when you reply an hour later and I reply 5 minutes later and you take another hour and a half to reply it's kind of annoying and at that point I don't want to reply quickly because that's like saying "I have no life, so you can reply 3 hours later if you want and I'll still reply with-in 10 minutes." So if you feel the need to text back, just say "I'm busy, I'll text you later" Or don't put the "I'll text you later part" It'll get you out of having to. Or just don't reply at all. It'll save us both a lot of trouble.
Another thing, when someone says "brb" should you reply? I never know, I feel like texting back saying "ok" will just interrupt them and annoy them, but I've also had people that if I didn't reply they would never text back, so like two hours later I would eventually text back "alrighty then" and they would reply straight back "I'm back" and I'll feel like an idiot. Then when it comes time for me to say that I'll be right back I don't know whether they're going to reply or not. So I'm not sure if I should wait until they reply before I start doing what I need to do, or not.
Last thing, "text language". If you don't know what most of the terms mean, don't use them. If you if you have no earthly clue how to spell the words you're texting, don't text them. Commas, use them. When I get a text like this, I get deeply confused but I don't want to question it because I feel like I'm mocking their horrible spelling....Okay, well I can't think of an example off the top of my head right now, but you should know what I mean. Text terms are okay, I use them some of the time. Mostly I only use: lol, ok, u, 2, &, b/t, and w/. A couple of those I'll only use if I'm out of characters. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few teenagers who uses proper grammar during texts, I have to have my commas and punctuation or it kills me. I'm slowly getting used to other peoples bad grammar now. Thanks for reading my rant (you're the only one so far) enjoy your day.

Rant # 1: This Site
I mentioned in my first post earlier I'm big on grammar. With that I mean I like paragraphs and such things like that. Well, I viewed the post after I posted it and I noticed the Title isn't centered. It's little things like that that drive me nuts. If anyone knows how to center the title of the post on the post I would greatly appreciate it. As you can probably tell by now little things like that irritate me. It takes a lot to irritate me, unless it's something little or I'm already irritated. I'm going to shut up now because I just realized I can edit that post to fix an error I noticed I made earlier. Yes. I am slow.
First Post
Basically, I'm just going to use this as a place to put my rants, or random ideas that I find no point in expressing out loud and my friends are probably tired of them clogging (?) up their news feed on Facebook, you're welcome to read if you want but I really don't care. For the simple fact that I know there are people out there with no lives, just like me, and that might actually read this I feel the need to tell you about some of the things that I might rant about so you won't be lost.
Firstly, I'll probably rant mostly about my grandmother, whom I love to death, that does lots of little things that irritate me profusely. Second, horrible grammar kills me. I more than likely will not rant about that but I feel the need to mention that so you know that every grammar mistake I notice after posting these will kill me. I can't spell to save my life and that kills me also, so please don't over look my spelling mistakes, if you can let me know how to spell the words I misspell it would be greatly appreciated. (I say if because I don't know how to use this/what it's able to do on here.) Thirdly, I write stories. I would love to become an author so some of my random ideas/rants may be about things relating to writing. Mostly I'm just going to type what ever comes to mind. I should mention, stalking is something of a... well I wouldn't say hobby, since I don't actually stalk people. It's illegal. I guess it's just one of those things, like some kids are into cows, or frogs, or pokemon, I'm into stalking. Though I'm not really a kid, I'm a teenager and that's all the personal info you will find out about me because I know the internet is full of stalkers. You're welcome to cyber stalk, but the second you know where I live I'll freak out. Enjoy your stay.
