Revolutionary

I got a calculator! Finally!
My old one died (the digits got really messed up) a couple weeks ago and it has been really inconvenient. The new one is as pretty, and it doesn't have a cover! >:[
Unfortunately, father did not get me my purple pen that I requested. He claims there were none, but I'm pretty sure he's lying! 
Spam. Once again. It's just unavoidable...

Excuses, Excuses

Ah, it's been a while since i've been here, had to do a lot of catch-up work. [Yes, i treat this very seriously, like a job. Well of course, i'm my own boss, i get to write about anything, and nobody reads this anyway, maybe except Ralph, so i dont get pay.] :) It's winter, i'm cold, and i have about a thousand different excuses for why i haven't been writing recently. [Yes boss, forgive me!]
1. It's cold, my fingers lose energy and i lose my train of thought. They become all frozen, and i can't type properly. My brain just kinda goes into lag mode. Also, i keep having to add on more and more pieces of clothing, making it hard to complete my work since i can barely move. I feel like a puff ball.
2. I have a BUNCH of stuff to do. [That includes homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, project, project, project, project, project, practicing that darn music, dissolving chocolate, and collecting fruit in AC.] It's just a never-ending list, and posting on my blog isn't exactly going to fit on there quite well.
3. There is like almost nothing to write about, since my "Writer's Notebook" operation is totally failing. Really horrible, one might say. I barely remember to write in it every few days, and not very many interesting topics occur to me while the pen is immobile in my grip. Not very inspirations from other places either. Winter just seems kind of dead. However, i must say that i am still writing in my journal. [You know, i really cant tell the difference between writing in the two. Except, one is a really bad spiral notebook, and the other is this huge binded book with smooth paper and pretty lines^^.] Anyways, im trying my hardest to keep detailed notes of my day so that when the government finds my diary they can publish it and i'll become famous when i'm dead! [Throws hands in the air*.] Yea, no.
4. Too many distractions on my computer. One minute i would be working on my blog, then the other minute i would be talking on some instant messaging program. Then playing some games. Then working on my website project. Then i'd be playing some more games. Before you know it, my time's all gone. So i end up not turning on the computer too often, i have lots of other stuff to do.
5. What can i say? It's gets tiring sometimes, i run out of energy to do anything, anything at all. [That excludes eating ice cream.] Lazy, i guess? It's a trait in everybody. EVERYBODY EXCEPT THOSE DARN PEOPLE WHO GET UP SO EARLY IN THE MORNING ON A DAILY BASIS! [Shakes fists at young people running around.*]
There, was that good enough for you? Ah, probably not. I have very high expectations from my boss. [wink*] Ok, that was really relieving for my writer's block. My fingers ARE getting cold...

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! :)
