the 11th hour

Just watched this documentary called The 11th Hour. It was all about how our current model of economics and government is built for growth, but too much growth - no, the wrong kind of growth - will result in our downfall. Having watched this movie, I have come to the conclusion that we, as a society, will have to be obsessive about being environmentally friendly if we're going to change our ways. We'll have to put nearly everything else down for a while. Because for once, we'll have to read the Terms of Service of Earth, and act accordingly.

Woah!

I didn't realize that it's been a while since my last blog! Anyhow. I'm doing good - having sleepovers, playing computer games, stuff like that. I even got my brother to play some Civilization 4 with me in an attempt to make him forget about Order of the Stick. See, we got the OOTS board game, and Lucas is really into it. I had to put my OOTS books up high so that he couldn't reach them, as Mom has deemed them inappropriate for him, and I agree. Right now I'm playing Heroes of Might And Magic V: Tribes of the East, and typing up this post between turns. So, uh... yeah. I guess that's all I really wanted to say. -poof-

So, let's see. Today my mom took me to the college that she went to. It's also the college that my grandpa and uncle went to, and I believe I want to go there as well. The legacy was very interesting. And my little group of friends is planning a sleepover sometime in the next two weeks, and I wonder if I'd be able to host because I never host, probably because my house is almost never that clean, except for birthday parties. And with my birthday party, I don't limit myself to this group of friends (yeah, I'm talking about da5). So.. yeah, I'd have to ask. And I dunno what my parents say. And I doubt anyone will care about this, but I guess that's why I blog. Because I can assure myself that only a few people will read this, while also being under the illusion that it's more glorified than a journal. I suppose I'd let out more secrets if I knew that no one that I know in real life would read this. But, seriously. I tweet about this blog, and I have friends who follow me on Twitter (not that they get on usually.) It appears in my Buzz feed. I've even put this as my website on Facebook (not that anyone looks at that.) But seriously, I can count the number of people who read this regularly on one hand. If I had 2 or 3 fingers removed.

when i get really tired, things like this happen.

I read this paragraph and cracked up:

Albert Einstein's mathematics suggest it [referring to time travel] is achievable in theory but only towards the future and without a way back, and even then only with literally astronomical amounts of energy or possibly some kind of exotic matter with imaginary mass involved).

Exotic matter - with IMAGINARY MASS!

and CAPITAL LETTERS!

good night.

some lyrics, from some song

alright, so i'm glad to be home (for realz this time.) i'm not going to be traveling again for two or three weeks this time, and when i do go it'll be with my family to my (other) grandma's house - the one that lives in alabama. but the only thing is, my sister's friend has a birthday party july 31st. but if we don't leave until after then, we won't come back in time for my friend's birthday party on like, august 6th. so it's guaranteed that one of us will miss out, since if we try to be back by august 6th we'll have to leave well before july 31st.

apparently while i was at camp, angelina (the brown tabby cat that wanted to be ours) died. it was kind of a shock (though i suppose not as much of a shock if, say, tasha had died) and very sad. :c

i've found this note-taking site called switchnode, which i find very handy and easy to use. i had been writing down various ideas for stories i've had, but the whole thing somehow got wiped, so now i've got to start over. ah well. so anwyays, check out http://www.switchnode.com/

apparently i've gotta finish this up; it is almost 1 am. good night.

Well, I was going to make a blog post yesterday, but I was too busy messing around with the design of the blog. The background might change a couple times more, by the way ;) But anyways, I'm back from camp now! It was quite fun..

Okay, and... I'm sorry I don't have time to upload my Europe pictures, but I'm leaving for my grandma's house later today and I don't have access to the computer I usually use to upload pictures (and besides which, I would only have time to compose a blog post with a couple teaser photos or something). But I'll be back by next week, I think, so then I'd be able to! Right now I'm using my mom's new Windows 7 laptop, which I'm pretty pleased with.

At camp I acquired a liking for a few more songs... looks like soon I'll have to get more iTunes money.

and i don't want the world to see me
cause i don't think that they'd understand
when everything's made to be broken
i just want you to know who i am
