Work Is Such a Bore

As I am writing this I'm sitting on concrete waiting for people to come get food. It seems utterly pointless to be doing this. I thought someone would of shown up by now but no. All I get is someone in a Lexus who just parked here, and not doing anything. Also some old man keeps driving by. Wow! My job is fun. What my job is is this summer feeding program, where me and some other people including my twin sis, fix lunch and hand it out to kids in different communities in my town. It's something my mom's boss decided to try out this year. So at the places I went to, because right now I'm actually off work, no one showed up. Maybe it was because it's a holiday or because my sis and I looked like we didn't really want to be there, so no one wanted to approach us. No one even bothered to come up to us, so maybe it wasn't us. Who knows.

I was so bored earlier, I decided to try out my mobile posting. It worked pretty good. I just have no idea how to add a title and all that. So I will try it again some other day. Right now, I'm typing this on my laptop. So much easier than trying to do it on my tiny keyboard on my Palm.

Oh, my job gives me so much joy! Yea, I'm never going to say that again.  I just hope it gets better. Maybe someone will actually show up tomorrow. I hope so, or I'm really going to regret that I that I told my mom I'll work this. Wish me luck that it turns out better tomorrow.

Can You Ever Possibly Read Enough?

I ask myself, do I read too much? Sometimes I think the answer is no. I think this because I ask others what they have read so far this year, and they seem to have a lot. Sometimes I have never heard of the books they read and sometimes I have but have yet to read it. Sometimes I find myself answering the question yes. The other day I went to the bookstore, and I couldn't decide which book to get. I never leave a book store without two or more books. I had a ton in my hand the other day, all books I was dying to read. I ended up only getting two because I did not have enough money to get more. Oh, money. How I wish I could have more than enough, so I could get any book I wanted. Sadly this is not true, and I have to always narrow down my choices by which ones I really, really want to read. Or sometimes by which one is cheaper. It's always a tough choice, but I do either go back and buy the other books another time or find it at my library.


So what I really want to know, can I really ever quench my thrist for reading? I think not. I'm pretty sure that never will be possible. I use to think back in middle school that I'd never pick up a book again. Middle school somehow ruined reading for me. I didn't really get back into it till close to the end of the eighth grade. It's not like I didn't read at all in middle school. I was forced to so I could earn points each quarter for a grade. I hated being forced to read books because they were on the list of books that you could earn points from. I usually just read books that weren't on them, and also the books that were assigned in class. I think the first quarter of my sixth grade year was the only time I got all the points that I was required to get. It's not like it affected my grades that much, just how much I read. Now I think that I'll never go a day without at least picking up a book and reading at least a few pages of it. I'll probably be like my awesomely, blunt mother and read books, but just skim them and skip all the boring parts. I already do that now with some books. Most of the time I read a book word for word. My mother rereads books, and I barely do that. I read a book because I don't know what's going to happen. Rereading, I'll already know what's going to happen. It just ruins it for me. Except sometimes I haven't read a book in a few years and maybe I've forgotten what was going to happen. Then maybe I'll reread it, or if it was extremely good, and I just have to pick it back up again. I just know that I'll always be a book worm, and I'm proud of it!

Can I Ever Stick With the Same Thing???

So I can never seem to keep the same template for either of my blogs. I am constantly changing. Like just a few minutes ago, I switched from a star lamp as my background, to a coffee cup. On my other blog, I use to have some books as my background, and now have a guy holding a camera. I'm just wandering if I'll ever stick with one for more than a month. I don't think people really care if I do. I notice a lot of other blogs change how they look too. They just don't seem to change it as much. I've changed my book blog template a few times, and I haven't even had this blog a month and I've already changed it twice. I'm also wondering if this will happen with other things in my life. If I'll be able to stick with my chosen major, or keep changing it. Will I want to change colleges after just one month. I hope not, this is my dream school.

Life sucks, just to let you know. Maybe not to you, but to me it does. I'm so wishing I could just not think and worry about things, but that's all I do. Argh!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to scream some times. This is so not on topic, but who cares about that. So as with last Friday, and yesterday, today is really boring. This one's short, I just don't feel like blogging that much today.

Who Doesn't Love Roller Coasters and Music?

So Sunday I went to Six Flags Over Georgia. I haven't been in about 3 or 4 years. I really do love Six Flags, even if I don't get to go every year.My favorite rides are Superman, Goliath, and Batman. So on Sunday they were having the Bamboozle Roadshow which featured All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Hanson, Good Charlotte, Forever The Sickest Kids, Cartel, and Cady Groves. There were other bands, but they were playing in a different area, and I didn't get to see them. I don't really care too much for Hanson or Cady Groves. I was mainly there to see All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, and Cartel. I had heard of Forever the Sickest Kids before the show, but hadn't heard any of their music. I don't know why, I realized I loved every one of their songs that they played. They also were one the best performances of the day. The show started at 2 something and didn't end till almost 8. So my friends, sis, and I rode a few rides before the show including Goliath and Superman, and rode Georgia Scorcher after the show before we headed home. I really wanted to ride more, but I wanted to see this concert more. I can always go back and ride roller coasters some other day, this concert was only going to happen one day. So Sunday became more exciting than Friday, and today is just as boring as Friday was. I am so wanting to go back to Six Flags, and ride some rides. I also really want to go see another concert. Like who wouldn't want to see these bands perform? Honestly, Martin, the lead singer for Boys Like Girls, is kind of crazy. I knew he acted weird, but I have never been to one of their concerts before, so I didn't know how weird. I liked him though. He was just being himself, and he even challenged some guy out in the audience who didn't seem to like Hanson that much. But the guy couldn't get up on stage because it was against Six Flags' policy. Whatever. It's what he told us. I also didn't think that All Time Low band members were going to be like they were. The guitarist, Jack, was always running around, you didn't always see him on stage. He also went out in the crowd once. Him and Alex, the lead singer and guitarist, would talk after some of the songs, and it was hilarious. They would argue, and they fought over some hat that someone in the audience threw up on stage. Jack tried to get a hat from someone that looked like a rabbit. Alex threatened to throw picks at her till she did. Forever the Sickest Kids acted the same way. Their lead singer was my favorite. Over all, I think I will go see each of these bands in concert again. I'm hoping that later on in the summer, I can go to the Vans Warped Tour. Who knows if I'll actually be able to.

Friday Can be Just as Boring as Monday

So it's Friday, and what do I have to do today? Nothing that's what. I have school work I need to be doing, but do I feel like doing it? The answer would be no. My mom gets off early today, so if she decided that we're going, I may go to the outlet mall and buy a new dress or skirt for my sister's graduation tomorrow. My mom may decide not to let me get a new dress and I'll be stuck with one of my old ones which I don't want.
So besides having nothing to do, today is boring because it's raining. It has been sunny all week and today it decides to rain. Normally when it rains, and it's not some bad thunder storm, my sis and I watch a movie. We've always thought rainy days were the best movie days. If it looks like rain, or just started to rain, we always go, "Movie time," and then pick out a movie to watch that we've probably watched a million times. I think we get this from elementary school. We always watched movies back then when it rained and we couldn't go outside for recess. Oh, the good ole days. I'm just hoping it doesn't continue to rain all weekend. Sunday I plan on going to Six Flags with my sister and some of our friends. I have already paid for the tickets. It was not just for a one day pass, they're also having a concert that day. The Bamboozle Roadshow, which features All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Cartel, and many others. I absolutely love All Time Low and Cartel, and I do not want to miss out on this. So I'm hoping that the Big Man Upstairs will decide not to have it rain Sunday. It's the first time in like two years I will be going to Six Flags, and I really want to ride Goliath and see this concert. Don't let me down please. You know, now that I've asked for it not to rain, I've probably jinxed myself. Oh well, maybe they'll reschedule it. So I'm going to continue my boring Friday with nothing to do, and hope that I get to go shopping and see All Time Low.

Sugar Cookies Don't Like Me

So last month for my great aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary I was assigned to make sugar cookies. It wasn't that big of a deal to me. I'm actually a good cook, and desserts are what I'm best at. So I'm usually assigned to make something. For instance, I had to make nearly all the desserts for Christmas one year. It turned out pretty good, with almost everything I made gone by the end of the day. So I thought, "Sugar cookies, no problem." Boy was I wrong. I had decided to make them from scratch. I thought it would be more special than buying pre cut ones. I had wanted to make ones that I could cut out because I wanted to cut them out into the shapes of butterflies. I should of known things wouldn't work out when it took my mom, sister, and me forever to find cookie cutters. Wal-Mart let me down. They only had one thing that was cookie cutters, and it was this big box that contained 100s of cookie cutters but not the ones I wanted. We bought it anyways.It did have one butterfly cookie cutter, so that made me somewhat happy. So when I go to make the cookies I don't read all the directions before starting them, and I find out when I finished mixing the dough(my mixer also broke on me while mixing it) that the dough has to chill in the fridge for 2 hours at the least. I just wanted to scream at that point. I had waited to make them the morning of the party. Big Mistake. So my mom, being the psychic that she is, had bought a mix that all I had to do was add a little flour and one or two eggs to for just in case we didn't have enough. This mix only would make at most 30 cookies, and there was going to be at least 100 people there. But I made cookies from that batch, and I read all of the directions before I mixed them. They didn't need to be stuck in the fridge and they actually turned out good. While I was waiting on the other to firm in the fridge, I iced these as they cooled. So when a little over two hours was up, I checked the dough in the fridge, and thought it was firm. I go to roll it out, and it sticks to the rolling pin even though it has flour on it. It also doesn't cut out. By this time I was needing to be already done with these cookies, and getting ready to go. So I decide to just drop dough them, and call it a day. My sis helped me ice them and put them on the tray.

So that was last month in April, I tried again just a couple of days ago. My sis and I had been wanting something sweet, so I decided to see if these cookies would turn out like they're suppose to. I had plenty of time and nothing to do that day. I also had gotten a new mixer, which was what I thought was the reason for them not working last time. So I make it, put it in the fridge, and leave it in the fridge for way over 2 hours. Again I try to roll them out, and again they don't do as they should. So I drop dough half of it, and leave the other half in the fridge. I leave it in there for the rest of the day, and don't try again till the next day. It does the same as it did the first couple of times. So I gave up, and realized that sugar cookies are not the dessert for me. They just don't like me.

So I Guess This is What You Call an Introduction

So I decided to create another blog. I don't know if I'll keep this one up as much as I do with the other one, but I will try to not go too long without posting. So I wanted a blog that wasn't about books. I seriously have a love for books, but it's not my whole life. I have also realized that there are a ton, and I mean a ton of book blogs out there. So I wanted to do one that wasn't just a bunch of reviews.
So I guess I should introduce myself. If you follow my other blog, than you already know things about me, but if other people are actually reading this than I should tell you something about me.
Where to begin??? Let's see, I am not the only person out there that looks like me. Yep that means I'm an identical twin. We have a lot in common, except she doesn't blog. She's also my best friend. I guess this is where the awwws come in. Yea, well when you have to share a room with someone ten years of your life, and you have to get along than you learn it's best just to not argue. Nowadays we do argue, we also don't share a room. For some reason my friends think it's so funny to see my sis and I fight. One of my friends also tells us that we have a evil twin laugh, but we're not evil, I swear.
So I've decided to list all the rest of the things about me, and not go too into detail.
Here it is:
I'm a vegetarian, the only one in my family.
I'm a senior in high school.
Attending Clemson University in the fall, majoring in Food Science.
Book worm
Music fanatic
Middle child, I'm older than my twin by 13 minutes.
Have black hair, but not my natural, but does look it.
I love punk rock music.
Favorite color is green.
I read way too much, sometimes a book a day and sometimes more than that.
I procrastinate way too much.
I live in a small town that's way too close minded.
I'm biracial, half black half white.

I think this is enough for now. I hope you will like reading my blog, if any one reads it.
