I'm Serious..

So i had a talk with my grandpa (whom i live with) and after i get my liscense and if i can manage to get a decent paying job, i could very well be in another country around this time next year. i know it kinda sounds...i dont know, maybe not important..but it is to me o.0

i've always wanted to travel but have only been to several states in the U.S. Its not really satisfying. So, i really hope everything works out and i can go. i've looked at deals for ticket prices already and it seems like a pretty attainable aspiration..My grandpa agreed as long as he doesn't have to pay.

The only problem i have about this is..i've never been outside of the U.S. and i just know im going to spazz out about being in a new place faaaaaaar away from everything i know...and everyone i know..well not everyone. i DO know a few people who live there, but im not sure how they would react should i tell them the news..furthermore im not sure if they'd want to meet with me should i really be able to go.

so thats about it. thanks! i guess i'll keep you posted about any more news i have involving me going out of the country ^^

So , i noticed the other day...(RANT)

Alright, although i hate to start off ranting about things i've notice some people do but annoy the piss out of me, I feel this has to be said before i forget.

People who are in such a hurry on the road need to SLOW THE %$#@ DOWN! Alright! As if we didnt understand your swirving behind us and scaring the living BEJESUS out of us, you insist on speeding around us and further making an ass out of yourself by getting stopped by the person in front of you (which i might add is a very nice person for obeying the laws of the road and stopping at a red light) and waving like a mad person at them BECAUSE they stopped. Now, if you are in THAT big of a hurry, please for all our sakes, just...leave early. Heaven forbid we be the people in front of a loony that decided he (or she) was going to get their jollies first and THEN go driving like crazy down a 45 mph road and going 75...80...even 90...O.0 WHOA buddy...just slow down...It's your own fault. You know...i would very much like to continue living in this hell hole if you don't mind. ^_^ thanks!

New-To-Me

Alright, so this is the first of hopefully many blogs and such that i intend to post. Although this is my first blog here on blogspot, it is not my first blog ever. I can honestly say im not a great blogger, i procrastinate, im lazy, and i get distracted easily, so at times it can be quite hard for me to even finish a blog let alone start one and stay on track. There are a multitude of subjects i wish to blog about but now is not the time. Perhaps in a few days i can sit down and type away at the little keys and type up my thoughts when im able to just relax and THINK. Most days i'm really tired when i get home from school. Seeing as i am a senior in high school, especially in Columbia County, seniors have a HUGE project that we all must start and finish..and innevitably pass. It takes up a huge portion of our senior year..and our lives during this time is mostly occupied by this project. There is so much that has to be done and depending on what you choose to do for your project, you have more or less than others. Furthermore, we have to keep deadlines, do and re-do research papers, and many other things that are just way too stressful. I must admit, i have not been doing my best during the first half of the year working on the project, but i fully intend to work harder this half. That reminds me, my senior project is to learn to sew and make a renaissance dress. I really like learning more and more about the renaissance period and i love being creative, so i thought this would be a great decission. But i must leave it at that for now, i have to be off to shop for supplies for this project now. So, keep reading, because there will surely be more in the works soon.
