I tried.

This is sad and cute at the same time!

Okay obviously this picture is supposed to convey a sad and wistful feeling among the reader. And yes, I did feel sad when i first saw this. But then i had a different feeling…

Maybe I’m the problem. But I don’t know. I love the internet. It’s a way of exploring through mountains and mountains of knowledge, and to spark new ideas and learn new things. If I had google when i was 10 I could have learned so much about the world. 

I’m DEFINITELY not saying that playing outside is not important. Good social skills is def THE top qualities a youngster needs to learn. But, in conclusion, i’m not gonna hate on the internet.

I heard Microsoft officially shut down MSN messenger. I never used it, but I did use AIM. 

I remember when i was in 5th grade, and just created an AIM screen name. It was something lame like azngranolabar552. Or should i say aZNgrAnOlABar552 LOLLLL. I remember when i would go home from school, connect to my dial up service, and wait for my 5th grade crush to go online (i still remember his sn, it was coolxmasta) and I would be so excited when he would go online! 

I still remember away messages and profiles. Everyone had AIM back in those middle school + high school days (2002-2009). I would have 50-100 people online at once. I remember back in middle school, I wrote a blog in my Xanga (ha ha remember those) thinking that no one could use AIM forever, and wondering how people would connect with one another. 

Then, facebook and gchat became mega popular when i went to college. Slowly, people stopped using aim. First was my best friend selena…then slowly I stopped seeing people online. Around my 3rd year of college, it was just the same 3-5 people I would talk to.

Recently I bought a macbook, and I’m sad to say that I’ve stopped using AIM alltogether. It makes me feel sad that times are changing, but I guess old things have to go for new, better things to come along.

I dont know if you guys reddit or not, but there’s been a lot of 90’s tv show stuff goin on there. So I’d like to add in my comments about friends.

I started watching friends when i was in maybe 2nd grade. Yes, 2nd grade…I was like 8 haha. I still remember being at my cousin Wendy’s house and watching tv and seeing the previews for that night’s episode (“TONIGHT ON FRIENDS…*SHOWS CLIPS*”) I remember that distinct clip I’m thinking about, it was when monica shoots the marshmallow out of her nose and phoebe is like “ew ew ew!”.

I kept on watching friends until the season finale. I couldnt always get access to the newest episodes because I didn’t have cable TV, and friends was shown on NBC 11, which was really static-y for me. I still watched it though, from video recordings (ha) and other ways, like going to other people’s houses to watch.

I remember when friends had it’s series finale. I was in 7th grade. I remember Joy and i sharing a love for friends and we were so excited for the finale! That night, when rachel got off the plane, I cried. I cried because it was just so emotional, and also because I knew the show was going to be over. 

I continued to watch reruns of friends on channel 2 fox (which was clear for my tv, yay!) . Every weekday on fox, from 6:30-7:30, two episodes of friends would play. I would watch it pretty much everyday. Even when I couldn’t watch it, I would record the show with a tape on the vcr.  I remember when it would sometimes record past 7:30, and there would be a couple minutes of seinfeld at the end, which I’d watch also. I remember when fox would show MLB baseball instead of friends, and I would be LIVID. This is the reason why i hate baseball. jk.

Years passed, and I went to college. Sometime between me graduating high school and going to college, instead of friends playing everyday on fox from 6:30-7:30, they replaced it with newer shows like the big bang theory. This made me so sad….Seriously, i watched friends from 6:30-7:30 pretty much everyday of high school, and then it’s just gone..Friend’s is now just “a 90’s show” to everyone.

You might think I’m crazy, but I seriously still watch friends almost every day. I’ve probably seen every episode at least 15 times now. First of all, friends is just freakin hilarious…2nd of all, it really reminds me of my childhood and it makes me so at ease. Watching friends to me is kind of like a security blanket.

I love friends not only because of the reasons mentioned above, but because it’s so relatable. Anyone can relate to friends! There’s just so much I learned from friends, and almost anything i do in everyday life can be related to friends. Sometimes i’ll be talking to someone and i’ll be like “this totally happened in friends!”

Anyways, in conclusion, I really like friends. I don’t own any of the seasons; i’ve contemplated heavily buying the entire set of 10 seasons, but I can’t pull the trigger since it’s a lot of money. I hope to show this 90’s show to my children, also. When they’re of age though…there were wayyy to many sexual references that I did not understand haha. 

It’s almost 2:30 AM right now and im lying in bed in the dark, have been trying to sleep for about half an hour.

So there’s this baby that is crying right now, probably from the couple who lives above me. The cries are very faint (I can barely hear it) and this happens maybe 3x a week. The rest of the time I am probably already asleep by the time the baby cries.

Anyways since I am having trouble falling asleep I just thought about babies for myself… Now, I don’t see myself having babies for at least another 6-8 years or so (omg that sounds kind of soon shit) but the thought of being responsible for a crying little baby terrifies me. I mean, right now if I had a baby at 22 years old, it would probably die due to negligence. I would definitely just put some ear plugs in and leave my crying baby in another room. Hell, even now at home when I’m sleepin with my cat and he starts meowing in the middle of the night , I just gently toss him outside lol.

I hope some day I will be ready to have kids and care for it so wonderfully… I do know that when I am ready, I’ll be a good mother. But right now I’m just thinking “oh man if I have kids im not going to be able to sleep! When will i ever be ready for that?” SCARY.

All it takes is a shoulder bump to steal someone’s phone from their pocket or purse

Said phone never has a password/has one that’s easy to guess

Beautiful ladies render powerful businessmen completely useless

If you sleep with your best friend’s boyfriend, she will always forgive you. 

Surveillance tapes are always attainable with a lot of money

I don’t anticipate black friday. I don’t scope out the deals and wait in line, or even buy anything. I only go to hang out with my friends during thanksgiving break and just shop around.

This year, I do want a new laptop. My current laptop is okay, but it’s pretty old and beat up with a couple of minor graphics issues.

So, I’m thinkin more about trying to get a deal on black friday. However, the more i think about it and the more i read online (reddit. haha) , i realize black friday is kind of ridiculous. Why is there sales on just this one day of the year…at like 3 am in the morning…. I mean it’s taking away from time with families on thanksgiving, and there’s even been incidents of death from being trampled in the crowds. Why does consumerist america have to do this? I suck and have no interest in economics, but i don’t understand the benefit of businesses having this one day crazy sale. Perhaps it is so people will have mob mentality and just go crazy and buy stuff…

On the contrary, I am looking to find a good deal on a laptop haha

It’s the presidential election today! November 6, 2012

I did vote, but I’m not passionate about anything. It was my first time voting (and the first time i could vote in the presidential election).

What I really just want to say is that the election today reminds me of the election 4 years ago. Four years ago, I was a senior in high school. I was taking AP Calculus and AP Gov. I remember in AP gov how we talked about the election between mccain and obama. That was when the whole sarah palin thing was going down. But i digress..

I’m just comparing what is going on in my life now and back then. I remember very distinctly how I was feeling and what was going on. I was worried about calc because it was hard. Things are so different now. Instead of a senior in high school, I’m now a senior in college. I’ve learned so much stuff about life, and I’ve also learned a lot about myself. It is interesting to look back and see how my priorities changed.

Time is so stubborn. It doesn’t wait for anyone, just passes by everyone no matter what.
Today I leave home for college again. I was excited a month ago but now I’m having serious anxiety.
Things are changing, and it’s somewhat unsettling to me.
My dad made me some awesome food for lunch today. I sat down on the kitchen table and felt like a high schooler again. I started reading the newspaper while eating and had an epiphany..why don’t I get one of my foxtrot books and read it at the dining table like in my teenage years!
I go look for my books in my room..realized that my mom cleaned them out back when my room was getting remodeled. I look everywhere around the house for them..searching for my youth. Could not find it. Resorted to reading the newspaper..south bay opening more jobs, 47% Romney, endeavor.

Ok I realize this is the most emo shit ever lol I guess I am just sad about leaving. I do realize I still have my youth..though it will be gone in a couple of years. Eek!
