what is it? like tuesday? (nostalgia)

this is like one of those normal journal entries people do.

so today i woke up and ate this amazing muffin. and then .. i think i went on the computer and talked to hildur about muffins and prince and probably some other super important stuff (as ususal (me and hildur only talk about super important stuff)). and then she had to go like kill some dinosaurs or something and i went to hang out in the garage and listen to dub and read poetry and dance around like an idiot. and then i came back over to the house and ate chicken nuggets for lunch. they were kinda cold but i wasn't feeling in the mood to remicrowave them.

my mom called me upstairs after this and she told me about how she talked to the guidance councelor at the school about when i can do early admission for college. thats like when the really big nerd kids apply to college really early and the college thinks its cool so they are more likely to let you in. and i want to go to purchase college and no where else. its so awesome guyssss. so i can apply tomorrow if i want because thats when early admissions starts but i want to write the college essay thing (the college's want you to write essays so they can tell how awesome you are) i want to write the college essay thing during school so my english teacher can make sure it's college worthy. if i go to purchase i'm going to be in the cheeseclub and go to nyc like everyday and have a social life WOAH. well that might be a bit ambitious.

so then after that i had to go to work at the record store. no one came and bought anything. i was there for 4 hours. i'm not really sure how it stays open and it smells so bad like mildew in there. i'm pretty sure theres like mildew spores in my lungs right now making mildew babies. i read like the whole time. dan showed up at the end and he seemed more talkative today then usual. probably because he wasn't sleepy. he's almost always sleepy. anyway we had a really interesting discussion on people who are obsessed with ferrets and this place called the eagle nest. so about the ferret thing. dan said he saw a special on tv about like this ferret society where people have like a million ferrets and hang out and write songs about ferrets and poems about ferrets and talk about their ferrets and have sex with their ferrets (well maybe not the last thing but i'm sure these people would do that if it was physically possible). and he said one lady was talking about how her ferret died and she was crying and talking about how all ferrets go to heaven because they're just so playful and happy. and this other lady had a fridge that could hold 25 pounds. so whenever anyones ferret died in the ferret club society they'd put the dead ferrets in the freezer. and when they had 25 pounds of dead ferret they took all the ferrets to get cremated. and then like they distributed the ashes. you had 2 ferrets? 2 TEASPOONS FOR YOU! it was crazy i laughed so much.

then he told me about the eagles nest which i guess is this place by the railroad tracks here in the woods where kids here go to do drugs and jerk each other off. how come i never heard of this place? i do drugs! why didn't i get invited!? eagles nest is a really retarded name! man i really need to get a social life so i can get invited to the EAAAAAAAAAGELS NESSSSSSSSST. just kididing that sounds really lame. having a social life is like the hardest thing ever. srsly. i just can't do it. like you have to hang out with people allllllllll the time if you want to have a social life. why can't i just pay people to hang out with me? how come people can't just call me to do stuff? jerks.

myspace etiquette: a guide

(note: although this is not myspace i like to keep track of everything i've written or made this summer here, explaining why this article was included)

hello. i may assume you're reading this because you have at one point been faced with a question concerning what would be the polite way to deal with certain social issues on myspace. you will find all questions about proper myspace etiquette have been divided into subsections for easy access in tight situations. i will be covering topics such as the proper way to picture comment, how many bulletins you can make in a day without being an annoying asshole, the proper length for an about me, and how many pictures of yourself you can have on your myspace without coming across as arrogant. let us get started; you may take it as seriously as you want.


comments

- someone just left me a comment, what do i do?
comment them back, it's the polite thing to do. but of course don't answer it too quickly or it might seem like you're starved for friendship.

- what is the proper way to picture comment?
the proper way to picture comment is simple. come up with something nice or amusing to say about someones picture. to avoid seeming like you have no imagination stay away from using phrases such as "lol" , "omfg", "cute", or "we rock".

bulletins

- what is an appropriate subject for a bulletin?
bulletins usually inform your friends that you have new pictures on your myspace or that you have a new blog entry. filling out thousands of surveys about yourself is not proper etiquette, its just annoying.

- i made a bulletin about my new pictures yesterday and no one has commented them yet, do i make another bulletin about it today?
no, give your myspace friends time to respond, maybe they're just doing stuff thats not on the computer, or maybe they just don't care.

- i already made 4 bulletins today, can i make another?
making thousands of bulletins a day is not only pointless but it may be getting on peoples nerves. calling too much attention to yourself is most definitley not proper etiquette.


blogs

- is it a good idea to put my poetry in my blog?
no this is not a good idea, people will most likely mock you (especially if you're between the ages of 12 and 17, teenage poetry has a reputation for being ridiculously bad).

- whats the proper length for a blog?
try to keep it to 1 or 2 paragraphs, anything lengthier then that will scare off potential blog readers and that means no comments for you!

- how much personal information should i reveal in my blog?
not much, if your blog starts going into details about medical health issues or why the colour purple makes you cry, then maybe you should consider getting a more private blog. like one made out of paper. sometimes referred to as a journal.


pictures

- how many pictures can i put on my myspace of just my face?
these are tacky, try to avoid. 10 points deducted if you took them yourself, 20 points deducted if theres a thousand and they're all basically the same shot, 30 points deducted if no one even bothered to comment them.

- is it cool to put song lyrics as the picture captions?
no (tortured teenage souls are not proper etiquette)

- is it humourous to take pictures of me or my friends acting ghetto or emo?
sorry kids but this is no longer original or funny. gang signs are cliche now and so is sadness.


about me

- how long can my about me be?
try to keep this minimal. a 6 paragraph essay is way more then necessary. if you're even able to write this much about yourself more then half of it will be obsolete babble.

- is it proper etiquette to mention my friends in my about me?
yes of course, mentioning your friends is polite and proper etiquette.

- would it be a good idea for me to include all the names and abbreviations for the gangs i'm in?
no dahlin, gangs are so cliche now. especially naming them and writing about them in your about me.


media

- should i have it set so that when someone opens my myspace page the song i've uploaded immediately starts playing?
no this isn't polite, most people are trying to listen to their own music when they're on the computer and having to constantly pause everyones myspace song gets tiresome.

- how many videos can i put on my myspace?
1. anymore then that is a media overkill and you my friend, are just a media whore.

- how many flashing things can i have on my myspace?
i'm sure you can guess the answer to this, 0. giving someone a seizure is not polite.



and this is the end of the myspace etiquette guide. i hope you found it useful and informative. i wish you all happy socializing!

so i'm making a movie on saturday and i think its going to be called just a body. taken from a song that i'm using in the movie. anyway haha i have a small amusing tale about the preparations for shooting it. so i sent my mom to wal mart to pick up a blue ball i wanted to use in the movie and she called me from the store asking me if a ball that wasn't solid blue but more watercolour blue was ok and if it was ok if the ball was slightly smaller then a basketball. it amused me. not sure why. also we're getting rid of this decrepit little playset in our backyard and we put an add for it in the newspaper. apparently alot of people want it because we keep getting calls but the first people who called got it. so they came over and took half of it apart, like the swings. but they couldn't get the other part of the playset to come apart so they said they'd come get it later. but we're pretty sure they're not coming back because its been 2 days. so we now have a decrepit half a swingset in our back yard that no ones going to want. great. i was planning on using the backyard in the movie, maybe i can make a feature of the sad playset.
