Our Amish fireplace came today. OH JOY! You know those Amish always make good stuff! Or is it the Germans? Oh hell.
As a child, I used to read those Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. I mean, other kids would read Amelia Bedelia, Curious George, that kind of stuff. I enjoyed the sick and messed up stories. The most disturbing part of the books were not the disturbing stories but the disturbing images. Take these for example. http://www.scaryforkids.com/pics/stories-to-tell-01.jpg
I read those books over and over again. Until the stories seeped into my childish brain and screwed me up. Maybe that is why when asked what board game I would like to have, I picked out a oujia board.
Another book I highly enjoyed as a kid was Chicken Fried Rat. A book FULL of urban legends in kid form. Like the one about the woman putting her poodle in the microwave? Ya I loved that kind of stuff. No wonder I never got into the Harry Potter and Twilight stuff. Haha.
Ok what is my point for this post? There is none. Well, I am waiting for my iphone to arrive in the mail, whenever. BOO
It would suck to be delusional. Like there is that disease where guys think their penis is shrinking and will soon disappears. AW:(

Disecting Geeks and Nerds
What is a nerd exactly? And a geek? Are they one in the same, or are they two VERY different things, like male and female?
SO, being the awesome person I am, I decided to look both of these words up. On the one and only dictionary.com. What I got was surprising. Thought I was looking at the urbandictionary as opposed to the dictionary dictionary. . . .
Nerd: a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person
Uhm ouch? Ok this is quite depressing. You think they would have a more user friendly definition. And I could tell you that a lot of nerds are attractive! But that is only from the viewpoint of a slightly nerdy nerd so my viewpoint may be full of bias. Irritating? Yes, I can't say that isn't true. But still dictionary.com, you have yet to define nerd to me. Are you saying every irritating, ugly, stupid person is a nerd? And how does that even make sense?! How can a nerd be stupid?! Isnt that an oxymoron?! Oy vey.
So they actually have another definition.
Nerd: an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit
Ah see, that is a better definition. Yet it completely attacks the prior definition. So WHO AM I TO BELIEVE?! Except what about the "nonsocial" part? Because I knew nerds who are only "nonsocial" with people who are not nerds, but are very amusing and entertaining with people who listen to them!
Alright, fair enough. Now what about geek?
Geek: a computer expert or enthusiast
Hmm. Ok makes sense. If I am judging people on this first definition though, it would make every computer expert a geek, and every non computer expert a . . . nongeek. But the word enthusiast allows us to make our own opinions. Because an enthusiast is not necessarily a computer expert, they just like computers, so this definition is fairly open to anyone who uses a freakin computer!
Geek: a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual
So apparently geeks are disliked. This makes no sense. It seems that a lot of people liked geeks. Tho this fails to give me a logical definition. So basically, if you are perceived as being overly intellectual, then you must be hated by people and are therefore a geek. Considering a stupid person off the street with a 5th grade education would find me, a high school senior, overly intellectual which means Im hated by people and am therefore a geek. I don't want to be a geek if this is the thanks I receive!
Now for the best definition of them all.
Geek: a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken
WHAT?!?!?!?! I have never heard this one before! Does anyone in the world actually know this?! Well of course not, who looks up the definition to the word geek?!!? . . . . other than me. . . Actually, this is the coolest definition of them all. This now gives me the right to slap anyone who calls me a geek and threaten the lives of their puppies and kittens! or chickens if they actually have them. . . .
So what are you hmm?! Well, if you ever get called one of the words, be sure to question the definition of the word. . . O_o

Good Morrow.
Since I want to play Skyrim but I am too lazy to actually do so, I shall post a blog. Ha. Isn't that how it always works?
I am listening to music. I like music. I like music other people don't know! Well, that is a lie. Of course SOMEONE else will know of them. A lot of other peoples. Just peoples I don't know, necessarily. Oh nevermind.
Like Promises by Nero. A more electronica dance dub step kind of song. Music video is pretty epic tho. And then I listen to Phillippe Katerine. He is French. A very very strange French man. I like strange people. So of course I would like him.
Life is pretty normal. A part of me cannot wait to get away from high school and go to college. Another part of me will miss it terribly. I love all my teachers, they are great. I am really lucky to have such great teachers. I like that Mr. Stedman can put up with me asking him questions like "what if the presidential and vice presidential candidate of a certain party die in a plane crash?!" "oh they usually fly separately" "WHAT IF THEY RUN INTO EACH OTHER?!" I really do ask a lot of questions.
BUT I hate this stupid citizenship crap our school is making us do. "do this crap" blah blah blah. I mean, I like to interact with the community, Spokane is an amazing city once you actually go out and join the community. So much to do. But this year is NOT the year, I havent done much and I doubt that I will. Like now, I should be looking up scholarships and writing essays but I do not want to. How that relates to a community, you decide.
its 11:20. boo.
