The List

  I was sitting here on the computer with a half hour left until my bedtime racking my mind for a blog post that I can publish quickly before bed when I remembered a certain list that I made last year in Grade Eight at a different school. So, I ran into my bedroom, opened my side table drawer, and reached into the very back to grab a little crumpled up piece of paper. I unfolded the paper and got the idea for this post. So, here it goes. 


  Last year, in grade eight, I was really bored in Math class. So, as I do when I'm bored, I started making a list. That would most likely never be completed. I have plenty of lists. Lists about how I'm going to save and spend my money, lists of what my life will be like after highschool, lists of what I'm going to do when I get home, and this list.. the list of blog posts to do. 


  When I made this list I had planned on writing all of the posts in one weekend. So, I got writing. And this is what the list looked like.

   As you may have realized if you have followed my blog for a while, I have only actually posted a couple of these and a lot of them are still sitting in the draft box.. poor them. But yeah, I made this list and I passed it to my friend Edmond and asked him to put check mark beside all of the ones he thought I should do. He put a check by nearly all of them. And then, I passed it to my friend Arsh and she didn't check any of them but on the bottom she wrote, "You have no life doing all of these posts in 3 DAYS!" We were very close friends, as you can tell. I folded up the list and put it in the pouch of my Math binder where it stayed until the end of the year when I got home and started emptying my binders. I found the list and tucked it into my bedside table drawer where I thought I would remember it. Since then, I've moved into a different bedroom and the list is still in my bedside drawer but I never forget it. Maybe one day I'll stop being so lazy and do some of those posts, but I'm pretty sure the majority of them need to be crossed off because they're stupid ideas. 

  It's now ten minutes to my bedtime and I'm trying to think what the whole point of this post was. Well, maybe this post will motivate me to finish a couple of those poor old drafted posts. Good Night. :)

Very Interesting Blog Post

Sorry about the misleading title.. this is actually an update post but I'm starting to feel like all I do is updates and posts saying that I'm sorry for the lack of posts so. sorry to disappoint but this is one of those posts. 


  So, since my last post I don't think very much has happened.. Oh. I just checked and my last post was on February 13th. I'll update you on what has happened since then. Well, actually.. I don't know. I've just been going to school and stuff. Today is the 27th of February so at least I didn't leave you guys hanging for over a month. 


  The whole reason (besides my constant procrastination) that I haven't been that active on the computer or my cell phone is, well, two different stories. So, I'll start with the computer predicament. I was on the computer, some day last week or the week before and I was editing a video that my sister was going to enter as an audition for this youtube collab thing when suddenly an error message popped up in the middle of the screen saying something like, "There are other people logged on and running programs on this computer, shutting down may cause them to lose.." Blah Blah Blah. Anyways, being me, I ignored it and didn't really read it (I just know a little bit of what it said because I've had this problem before) so I clicked 'No.' I don't exactly know what I was saying 'No' to, but obviously it was pretty important. So, then the screen went blank and I couldn't hear the annoying whirring of the computer. I looked down to the left of me where the computer was (not the monitor but the computer) and there was my little sister Keera staring up at me holding back an evil smile. She had turned off the computer to make me angry because she thought it was her turn even though it was my turn. I didn't really get mad at her I just kind of shrugged it off and pressed the power button after she ran away to go hide because she knew I would tell my mom, which I didn't. Until, I realized that the computer would not turn back on and I told my Mom that it was broken. I don't exactly remember what happened after that but the computer is still broken today and it feels, literally, like it's been a couple months since the "incident." I haven't been on twitter, facebook, or bieberfever.com for however long it's been and I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. I wasted $40.00 on the membership for bieberfever and now the computer is broken so I can't even get my fair usage out of the website by entering contests and whatnot. Gr. But I'm done ranting about that. Oh yah, I also haven't talked to Edmond since the computer broke and he either thinks I'm dead or I hate him. So, Edmond, if you're reading this.. I'm not dead and I don't hate you. My computer is just broken, and probably not going to get fixed because apparently it's not worth it because it's pretty old and it would have broken soon anyways but yeah.. this is too long. Let's get onto the cell phone predicament.


  I was at school, last week.. or maybe the week before. Again, I don't quite remember because it feels like it's been months. But anyways, I was at school and it was about 3:15 PM. I was waiting for my ride home as I do everyday and I texted Alex saying, "Hi Alex, can you please pick me up?" But, oddly, the message didn't send. I was mad because I thought it was just my stupid blackberry acting up, as it always does. So I ripped the battery out and waited 5 seconds and then put it back in and waiting literally 10 minutes for it to turn on. It usually takes this long because it does all of these weird security checks and just sits there with a blank white screen for like five minutes. Anyways, once it finally turned on I tried re-sending him the same message over 20 times. It STILL didn't work. So I gave up and tried phoning him and it went straight to some Telus recording thing. I tried calling again, the same annoying machine started talking to me again. So I tried listening to it and following a couple of the steps but nothing worked. I finally got REALLY mad and just threw my cell phone to the bottom of my bag and decided I would just wait, and wait, and wait until someone came to pick me up. Eventually I got picked up, I don't even think I waited that long.. maybe 3:30 or 3:45. Somewhere around there. But it's not really relevant to the story so I'll carry on. When I got home I told my Mom and she said something about her phone doing the same thing and then she realized that she hadn't paid the cell phone bill since December. Which means they cut us off.. because she forgot to pay it in January and Febuary or something. So, yeah that's my tragical story about the loss of technology in my life. But, you may be wondering. "Why doesn't she just pay the bill then?" Well, good thing you asked because this leads to another very long explanation that I will explain in the next paragraph..


  The reason she won't pay the bill is because she says, quote, "It's kind of nice having you go to bed on time every night and not being on Twitter all night." But I simply told her the truth and said, "Obviously not having a cell phone doesn't make me go to bed on time. It doesn't change anything." As I said up there (in this post) I am on the verge of a mental FREAK OUT so no, sadly, it does not make me go to sleep any earlier. I just sit there, and lay there, and pace the room (not really) until it's somewhere from.. well, I won't give out times because my Mom reads these posts, and then I fall asleep. It's physically impossible for me to fall asleep before a certain time. Which I will not reveal. But yeah, it's really odd. She also said something about, "If you don't save your money you won't be getting a phone for a long time." I'm guessing she means I have to save up money to pay off the bills every month myself.. Hmm.. I'll think about that. Maybe after I get a job. Possibly. Oh yeah! And then today she said she's kind of liking not having a cell phone herself (hers isn't working either if you didn't clue in on that) and I asked her, "Aren't you like.. DYING!?" And she said, "Nope. I thought I would be. But I'm not. It's kind of nice not having people bother me all the time." I don't remember what I said next. I think I growled quietly. Yah, I do that a lot. 


  So, those are the too very long stories about why I have been completely cut off from the world. The thing I'm most worried about not having a computer is that my WPM will drop majourly, (<-- sorry if I didn't spell that right.. I looked in a dictionary, yeah the book kind, and that word wasn't in there, Sorry) but to prevent that I've been doing this thing called ATRT (all the right type) at school once in a while when I'm waiting for a ride home. It's this typing game and when I sit down and play it I usually wrap the whole game. I'll time myself next time :) Anyways, I think that's all I have to talk about. Okay, Bye! Hope you had fun reading about how hard done by I am right now :( Ha! Just kidding, but seriously. I can't even believe I've survived this long with out a cell phone or computer. And I haven't even seen the director's cut of NSN!!! AHHHH!
