Zombie Apocalypse...Yeah okay then
Today, I spent a huge amount of time wandering the high school library after school, long after it was meant to be closed because I'm friends with the librarian's daughter. I have been having trouble getting into books with a lack of time due to school and extra curricular activities. I checked out a book on illustrations, a book on different art mediums and methods of using them, and the prize of the bunch The Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide: Complete protection from the living dead, by Max brooks.
Now I honestly do not believe in the Zombie Apocalypse in any way shape or form, but with the hype came the books about it. I found myself enjoying it immensely, due to the fictional paranoia inducing "eyewitness accounts" and the mild use of sarcasm.
The biggest issue I have with the book is the fact that nearly anyone who would actually seriously worry about the apocalypse wouldn't be the best survivors. I am aware that this is somewhat of a stereotype, but take the overweight nerd with a zombie obsession living in his (or her) parents' basement. Being physically fit is listed as a huge requirement and I think that any Americans' survival could be increased significantly if they were to go on a walk around the block every once in a while.
I do not consider myself a physically fit person, mainly because I am comparing myself to some of the star athletes I go to ROTC class with. When pitted against any of my other friends, however, I realized that my standard of being physically fit is a bit higher than others. That being said, I do not think I in this current state would be fit enough to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. How many of you truly think you could?
On another note, I have to think about my schedule for next year, and plan the rest of my high school career. It is a frustrating process because aptitude tests state that I could pretty much to anything. They aren't helpful at all in deciding what career I should have. I've thought about going into the Navy, being a research scientist, being a translator, being a writer, being a herpetologist, being an animator, being a director, I even have hair stylist on there. It's so hard to choose, and everyone keeps acting like I have to choose now.
Well have an enjoyable evening everyone, or whenever you decide to read this, and good morrow to you (reading Romeo and Juliet in class right now, I had already read it and found it awful. I prefer Hamlet.) Bye Bye!

Invisible
The difference between me and any shy Shoujo genre protagonist is that I TRY to be invisible. If you’re invisible, everything’s easier. There’s less conflict, you don’t get made fun of for being a little different, and you blend into the masses. Going with the flow isn’t that bad. I do have friends, I just don’t go out of my way to make them.
I’m the sort of person who has their head up in the clouds, and I don’t really like to come down much. I’d rather be reading manga, drawing, or writing than go out on a Friday night. It’s not as if I have a choice in the matter either. I live almost half an hour away from any of my friends or from a city I’d enjoy. I’m stranded here on this island until I can drive, and even then only if I have a car or money for gas would I be able to get anywhere. So excuse me, if I decide to live in my head for a while.
Another difference between me and a Shoujo heroine is that I do not expect to be saved by a boy, or ever be a part of a love triangle. It sounds like there would be too much conflict there, considering how the manga Koko ni Iru Yo goes on for nineteen chapters and counting. Dating sounds like too much effort, and seems more confusing than algebra.
I started reading Shoujo as a semi secret guilty pleasure. Usually I don’t go for that sort of stuff, but I am a teenage girl, and no you don’t have to be stupid to like that sort of thing. I’m no Twilight fan or anything don’t get me wrong.
To be honest, I don’t understand Twilight. It was a pointless read to me, and about ten minutes into watching the movie at a friends house, I was reading Harry Potter. By the end of the movie, I had finished the seventh one and began reading Carrie by Stephan King. It doesn’t sound too promising for a movie does it?
I realize I’m posting only a couple hours after my first, but hey, when things come to mind, they come to mind. My weekend has been fairly empty and dull. I should be happy that I got a day off, however, tomorrow can’t seem to come fast enough. I hate weekends. They make me feel trapped. All well, at least I got my homework done.

Hello Internet World!
I'm not exactly expecting a whole lot of people coming on this site and bragging about it's superior awesomeness as a blog. Nope. It is more of a way to blow off steam than anything else, and to write whatever non sequitur things come to my mind, without having to subject my friends and family to it.
A little about myself, I am technologically challenged. It took me an hour to figure out how to use this, and I still don't know how to do everything. I am a teenage girl living in nowhere Midwest U.S.A, and I am pretty normal. In fact, I consider myself a dull person who has set out to surround herself with interesting people. Writing is something I greatly enjoy, and I hope to make a career out of it. I also consider myself to be an artist, though none of my work seems to come out right.
Whoever happens to stumble across this blog will be subjected to my opinions, my poor artwork, and whatever randomly comes to my mind when I happen to be on the Internet. Which on that note, I must congratulate the Internet for allowing me to procrastinate for so long. I suppose I should get off and do my homework now.
