This one day I was reading a book called White Magic, and I was totally offended by it. {Ralph agrees with me.} It's about these girls who form a witch coven, and things happen between the friends. The coven is not exactly Wicca, but it's good magic. Well, in the story when someone joins the coven they gave rules to follow if one wished to be in the coven. One of them was: no blogging. When I read that, I was like GASP!!! with the extra exclamation marks. I was absolutely horrified/insulted. The reason for the rule was that blogging "gives away a part of you" or something like that. Then I wondered: do I give away myself on my blog? Weird thing to blog about, huh? Well, since I'm so confident that no one's reading this anyway, I'll just keep blabbing. Personally, I think I'm blogging about nothing. At least, nothing of significance. I just want to look back at this some day, when I'm all old and stuff, and see what kinds of things I thought about when I was young. Kind of like an electronic journal. But cooler than that 'cause it's Google and it's on the internet. {Unless, for some stupid reason, Blogger's system crashes and all of this is gone forever. But I don't like to think about that.} Paper is so temporary, changes are hard to make, waste of ink if you want to print pictures and all. I've thought about like a personal journal, but that's no fun because you're just writing stuff that only you are going to read because it's so personal or something. Knowing that you are going to share it makes you feel like you want to put something interesting, right? {Sorry for being rediculous, I just watched some documentary on philosophy or something, it's messing with my brain.} Back to the book. It was pretty good, and involved a lot of poetry. The spells were really cool, and some parts of it were kind of funny. The author is Kelly Easton, incase you want to read it sometime. {It's a young-adult book.} Of course, I have nothing to do with the publishing/selling of this book or anything, and I'm not trying to get you to buy it. I hate salesmen/infomercials. O_o Just go to the library. Duh. :)

MY PAPER! [Evil Grin*] BUAHAHAHAH!

Its kinda funny that most readers, when reading off an internet page that they are browsing or when reading the newpaper, dont exactly bother to read in DETAIL what is being said. So, if i decided to ramble on, and on, you probably wouldnt remember what i was talking about a few lines ago, or wouldnt care because none of it really makes sense. Or rather, this would be the most likely one, nobody would be reading this. O_o Anyways, the inexistent reader would probably stop about... -now-, considering it would be the point where im just rambling to myself. However, it is a bad example with my blog - most of it doesnt make sense - but if, lets say, one were reading a news article, there is just... no attraction to the page. It suddenly gets boring, even if the topic isnt. Could it be something with the screen? Does bright lights cause you to not want to read as much? I dont know how people usually read, but I often loose interest soon. [And im getting more and more self-concious by the minute...] Im gonna go eat some ice cream with Ralph now. BRAIN FREEZE! :]

Digging Deep: The Secrets of the Pen!

Have you ever had a special pen? One that just happens to be super duper ultra awesome? One thats REALLY good-flowing? For example, one that you find, lying around the house, or on the floor, or at the supermarket when you sign the receipt? Yea, those pens are awesome. And sometimes, they are popular and get manufactured often, so its really easy to find them again. The Catch: The new one that you bought will never be the same. My Hypothesis: Pens only work well when they have been "broken into". By this, i mean that they have to be well used in terms of age. A pen thats new, can never compare to a pen thats new in terms of comfort and smoothness. Of course, that is because the ball point is quite messed up and stuck in its place. Meanwhile, a used pen has a smooth ball with ink all over it because the ball has been rolled several times, and is smooth with oil. Obviously, one would prefer the old pen, right? That is not the case, most of the times. An old pen, that was not taken care of properly, would have bits of dirt, and lots of other gross stuff in the crevices of the pen. Compare it to a new pen, and its appeal would totally beat the other one's butt. [Assuming that it does have a butt. But it obviously wouldn't be as cute as Ralph's butt. That was a compliment, Ralph. :) ] But, if one were to actually have tried to use both, they would probably pick the older one. It'll be much better at writing. I mean, a pen's a pen, its gonna get dirty some way or another, right? :) Also, the only thing that matters, is what ink is placed on the paper, and now convenient it was to place that ink on the paper. Its whats inside that counts, correct? So, beware my friends! Next time you buy new pens, scour you room before you do that, and take a good LOOK at your old ones. Are they really that ugly? Are they really dirty beyond cleaning? Is it really worth it break out a new pen? Your pen can be very special to you, so dont waste any. Remember, ink that comes out of a pen, is cheaper than ink that comes out of a printer! :)
