YAWN

Hey, first of all, I feel compelled to apologize for my excuse of a post yesterday. Or was it the day before?

Anyway.

Y'know what's awkward?

Sleepovers.

Like, when you have to share a room with several people and they all threaten to sabatoge the person who falls asleep first and you're the one who probably will so you try begging the host to put an end to it.

Yeah...

What's also awkward is when everyone else falls asleep and you're the last one up. Especially when you aren't tired...

Then you're stuck looking around for something quiet to do, but whn all else fails, you watch the people sleeping and wonder if there's something wrong with you.
That's awkward.

Another case of sleepover awkwardness is when you, the host, ask what everyone wants to do and no one provides any suggestions. Then you're stuck because you forgot to plan stuff to do.

Fun.

The most famous case would be truth or dare, though.

If you pick dare, you may end up stealing someone's underwear.

If you pick truth, you have to spill your guts.

Lovely.

Lose, lose situation.

But for some reason people find it fun and entertaining, therefore forcing everyone else to join them.

Don't you just love those people?

Yeah... me too...

Well, I'm actually having a sleepover of my own at the moment. Corina is on my right, watching the TV; Alexis is on the chair, half asleep; and Sam is on my right, flipping through channels and occasionally glancing over to see what I'm writing but he has no idea he's appearing in this post...

Good night, loves.

Shall post again soon.

Hmm..

Hey, sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment, so this won't be a very good post.

Anyway, here are some questions to keep you up at night.

2. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?

3. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know?

14. Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things?

15. Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?

16. If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it?

17. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?

18. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Hey, y'know those people who can't spell to save their lives?

Yeah.

Now, honestly I make typos every now and then, but that's different from straight out unable to spell.

Example:

Me: Hi
Them: Ola
Me: Ehm, ola? You mean Hola?
Them: Oh, haha, whatever. Man, my teecher is stricked.
Me: Ehm, teacher. Strict.

Yeah, that annoys me. I mean, come on!!! It's not that hard.
But anyway....

I'm sure the people who do spell things wrong are positively fed up with people like me who correct their spelling on a regular basis.

There's this one kid I know that will never ever ever ever ever ever be able to spell anything right.

Ugh.

But, of course, it's different when the conversation goes like....

Me: Hi
Them: Sup?
Me: Oh, nothing much, you?
Them: Nm. Eatin.
Me: Eating what?
Them: Pizza. Wut kind of pizza do u lyk?

That's different.... and I do a bit of that.....
Just mainly "u" "r" ect. And I use numbers for words :P

Last night I added a subtitle!

Because I'm cool like that.

I'm not sure whether or not I should switch the title and subtitle though....

Most people worry about getting to the right place at the right time.

I worry about whether or not the title on my blog is okay....

Speaking of time, myfriends are coming today!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

Heehee...

Hey, stop that, I do too have friends!!! They just... are usually too busy to hang out with me... Or... live too far away....

Psht, whatever.

Well, I think it's time to watch Fan Boy and Chum Chum...

Ta ta for now

~Squiggle~

Hey, y'know that little squiggle thing in the top corner of the key board next to the one that you have to push shift to use?

~~~

That one.

Well, I would like to spend the next few minutes of my life talking about that little dude. I feel sorry for him. Don't you?

Anyway.

The last time I used the ~squiggle~ in casual conversation was when I was typing some thing along the lines of, "OMG~~~~"
But.... I didn't mean to use it. I wanted the !

Yeah.

Feeling sorry for pixels in cyberspace, abstract ideas, and inanimate objects is my specialty. For example....

Everyone has a favorite color... maybe.
Well, I don't, and I don't have one because I don't want the other colors to feel bad if I single one out....
There's your abstract idea.

As for inanimate objects....

Today, I got a new iPod touch from my grandmother :D
But I started feeling bad for my old iPod because I was going to have to kick him to the curb~
[There's the ~squiggle~ again, I meant to do !, but the damage has been done.]
I'm still worried that he's mad at me and will never forgive me....

I'm just caring and considerate like that.

Obviously it's time for me to get some sleep.

Now, always remember, brush your teeth, comb your hair, and throw on some converse and you're ready to take on the universe!

Ok. LOL

Hey, y'know what's awkward?
When the person you're IMing says either "LOL" when there's nothing worthy of LOLing, or "Ok." when the response needed was to be more elaborate.
Example:

Me: Hey, what's up?
Them: Oh, nothing, you?
Me: Nothing. Just sitting here
Them: LOL

I mean, what am I supposed to say to that? Very awkward. And as for the other one....

Me: Hey, I'm going to the mall around three today with Sarah, Jane, and Bob, do you want to come?
Them: Ok.

Really? I mean, Hel-lo! What does that mean?

There's also the other abuse of LOL.

Even I do this.

Y'know those people that, despite their failures, try to convey emotions via text? So they end up putting smileys to help get their mood across...
Then there are the people (like me) that use LOL a little to much....
Example:

Me: I am so happy today LOL
Them: Why?
Me: IDK LOL
Them: Is anything special going on?
Me: LOL, like I have something better to do LOL
Them: So, anyway, what's up?
Me: Nothing, LOL, you?

Well, you get my point. Very annoying, yet extremely effective :D

Well, it's 1:30 AM....
I'm not tired....
I think I'll read....

Be safe and eat your green veggies or you'll have pointy ears!!!
[That was a movie reference....]

I love you soooo much. Oops. Wrong person.

Hey, y'know how you'll send someone a message but it's something goofy like, "Hey there, omg I love you so much." Or something to that effect.
Well, don't you hate it when you send it to the wrong person?
Whether you texted it, IMed it, or called the wrong person, you can't deny that you've done it.

Awkward, right?

Especially when you have to put, "Sorry, wrong person."
Thought I can't deny that I hate it even more when I'm the one recieving it.
I mean, Hello!
I want to be told I'm loved! Or something to that effect.

Also when that happens but you recieve something more like, "I don't know. She's cute, but we don't talk alot. I guess I like her."
And you think that maybe you're being talked about.
But you'll never know!
Also, there are people who would send messages like those on purpose to drop hints!

Ahaha. And you thought I didn't catch on to anything.

I'm smarter than the average bear.

Ugh. That's what I get for not having a life.
Super smarts and an all day Yogi Bear marathon.

Anyway.

I also can't deny that I do it on purpose sometimes, saying things like, "Hey, wana catch a movie?"
But I send it to someone I would actually want to see the movie with, but say, "Oh, sorry, wrong person," so it appears like I have friends and a life.

Which, as anyone reading this can plainly see, I don't.

Well, I hear music that could only be coming from Guitar Hero, so I'm outta here.

Remember, someone, somewhere, will always care.

JnF

Hey, you're probably wondering why there's no title.
There IS a title. It's just invisible.

Weren't expecting that, were you?

Well, anyway, here we go.

Y'know how you'll send a text message to someone and they never answer?
That's awkward.

What's even more awkward is when they answer the next day/week/month and respond to a question. Then you're sitting there, phone in your hand, scrolling through your old messages, trying to remember what you asked them. Soon you realize that you deleted that message. Oops.
So what do you do? Well, you have no choice but to ask the awkward question, "What did I say?"

Most people don't worry about this kind of stuff.

I do.

Awkward moments must be pronounced and recognized.

Anyway.

There's also those times where you're texting at a regular rate and, all of a sudden, you completely forget what you were talking about just moments ago.
That leads the person you're texting to believe that you may actually have short term memory loss and must therefore be hospitalized.
Or, y'know, something like that.

It's not so hot being on the other side of that, either. It's even worse when you both forget! Then you have to go to the trouble of either remembering what you were talking about or starting a new conversation.

Of course who could forget those times where you're texting or typing and mid sentence you forget what you were going to say. And to make things worse, no matter how many times you reread what you've written, you can't think of the darn conclusion!!!

Well.....
Um.....
I had this amazing farewell to you all....
But I forgot what it was......
Hmm.......

JnF

Haha! Get it? Ehm, why aren't you laughing?

Hey, I told you I would post again soon! Hah... I suppose I should try to have a life...

Anyway.

Y'know when you're at a party and there are people cracking jokes so you feel compelled to say something funny? Well the awkward part comes in when you tell the funniest, most hilarious joke you know, but no one laughs. They just stare at you, and all you can think is....

....awkward.

The sad part is you try to retell it, because it's nice to pretend like they don't get it and you just have a quicker mind set than they do.
Too bad it just wasn't that funny.

Then everyone turns back to the person who is hosting the party and their expression clearly states, "Why did you invite the loser?"
Then the host looks at them, ashamed, their eyes saying, "Sorry, my mom said I had to invite them."

Yeah.

The only thing that's worse than that is when you think the joke is so hilarious that you burst out laughing before you can get to the punchline.
Note to self: laughing while telling a joke make you look like a dork.
Yeah, that's me....

Sometimes, when it comes to being funny at parties, you need to do the following:

1. Go on Google and search "Party Jokes"
2. Pick the third option (because one and two are just not as cool as three)
3. Write down as many jokes on your arms as possible
4. Find a jacket and pray things work out.

If you ever actually take that advice.... yeah... let me know how that works out for ya....

Honestly what you do is find the funniest person in the room, listen in on their jokes, then go to a different group of people and try to get to the punchline without laughing or forgetting something.

Last time I tried that it worked....

Sorta.

Anyway.

I hope you all had a good morning and I pray your lives are far more exciting than mine.

Farewell

Umm... Excuse me... Sorry!

Hey, y'know how when you're at the movies or a ballgame and you have to walk past someone but there's almost no space so you're all squished together?

Yeah, that's awkward.

But what I find debatable is whether you should pass facing away from them. If you're facing them, then you are forced to make eye contact which just makes things even more awkward.
If you're facing away, you have no idea what the person is looking at.
Awkward.

Then there are the people who are a little too helpful and try to help you get through.
Helloooo! You aren't helping! You're just making a fool of yourself and a public enemy of me.

Maybe I'm the only person that thinks or worries about these things.

But you can't deny that if you're at a football game or something in the freezing cold and you make a nice little safeway with your blanket a coat, it's not exactly favorable if someone has to pass and you have to stand up and let them through.

It's also awkward if you're the other person! Then you're forced to say "I'm sorry!" for having to get to your seat. Is that really something to apologize for? I suppose it would be rude to not say it.

It's also rude if the other person doesn't say, "Oh, it's alright!"

Then you're suddenly feeling not as sorry.

I'll probably have a couple more posts today... It's sunday. Everyone's either with family or at church which leaves me to find a creative way to entertain myself!!!

I'll have another post in a little while.

Don't go creating awkward moments... actually, do, because I need to know I'm not alone there.... And don't get yourselves killed... :D

Those people...

Hey, don'tcha just hate those people on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube that just post way too many things way too often?
[Kind of the way this blog will be on the days I'm so bored it's sickening...]
Yeah, well, I especially hate that even though those people annoy me, I can't unsubscribe/stop following/defriend them!

Not because I know them personally. If that were the case, the following conversation would take place:

Me: Hi
Them: Hey, what's up?
Me: You need to chill with the updates, they get annoying every 5 minutes
Them: Jeez...
Me: I know, right?

And then they would defriend/delete/stop following me. :D

But the reason I can't stop and delete/defriend/stop following them is because they're funny! That, or I would suddenly be overwhelmingly afraid that I would miss something fairly important, so I would add/send friend request/follow them once again.

Lose, lose situation.

You may ask, "Gee, has that happened to you before?"
The answer is yes!

On Twitter I only follow a few people and I also set it up so I get the text messages.
Bad Idea no. 1

Of course I follow some pretty amazing people, but there's one that updates a little too much and lives far, far away. Different time = bad.
Bad Idea no. 2

So I get texts from said person at three am. But they are so hilarious that I'm terrified I might miss something if I stopped following.

Stupid, right?

Well, that's me for ya. Right now I am downloading a picture! A fantastic picture! Of ME!!!! Sorta.
My friend drew it :D
He is officially the coolest person on Earth. No one can take his title, it's officialy official.
I think I'm going to wrap things up, here. I'm rather tired...

That's my third blog today...

Well, My third overall because technically its midnight and therefore a new day.

Sleep. Must. Get.

Night, y'all!

JnF

Hey, Jane! Oh... sorry Mary!

Hey, y'know what's awkward?
When you think you see someone you know so you scream their name at the tops of your lungs, but when they turn around, it isn't who you thought it was.

Yeah... that's awkward.

But, in my opinion, it's even worse when you don't know the person! Then you're stuck there debating whether or not to turn around and pretend you never said anything, or to yell, "Sorry, I thought you were someone else!"
Yeah...

Now, let's say you're on the other side of this little fiasco! If they choose not to say anything, you may start getting paranoid and feeling skitzofrantic.... or maybe that's just me... yeah, probably just me...

However, should the situation ever be slightly different, you would end up like me.
Example scenario:

Teacher: Okay, students, raise your hand if you know the answer!
Me: *raising my hand and waving it around frantically*
Teacher: *stares at me with a confused look on his face* Ehm, you in the front!
Me: ...

Yes, people forget my name... Mostly because people don't know my name...
I need friends.
If I had friends, I wouldn't have felt compelled to start this blog.
Jeez.

Now, reffering back to the original topic, if you've ever had an extremely awkward incident like this, drop me a comment. It's nice to know that I'm not the only person with these problems.

I'm going to pretend like I have something better to do.
Peace out people!
JnF

Happy Christmas!

Okay, here people say "Merry Christmas!"
I find that lame.
I mean, year after year and it never changes, like, at all. So this year I started saying "Happy Christmas!"
Be it on Facebook, Twitter, or face to face! Haha, boy did I get some weird responses! Mostly people yelling... okay, not yelling, but scolding me for tryign to change it. Being the loser I am, I laughed and said they were jealous of my coolness.
Lame, I know, but, y'know, whatever.

Anyway.

This year for Christmas, I got:
4 shirts (three of which don't fit)
4 pairs of pants (two of which are pajamas)
3 giftcards (Books A Million, Visa, and iTunes (I already spent the iTunes...))
10 books (first ten volumes of the bleach series :DD I've already read four of them...)
2 pairs of headphones (my parents didn't coordinate that one very well)
1 wii (I have to share it with my sister.... she doesn't like to share...)

I hope everyone got what they wanted! I know I... ehm, well, I didn't exactly have a list, so I'm totally content! haha.

Plus I have some guests coming!!! My friends from the trip I went on to Europe this past summer.
Sam, Corina, and Alexis, come on down! We're waiting!
LOL
I'm really just hoping that they can get here what with the snow they have...

I'm off to play my wii.
Peace out home slices
