"T.Snookie"

Have you ever had this friend that was always so mean to you, and your just not very fond of? I have that friend. And she's actually sitting next to me right now, also blogging. She's a bully...
Here's my advice to all you poor souls out there who have mean bully friends,
don't let them bully you!
You'll lead a sad and unhappy life if you continue to let them, just like me.
She nicknamed me troll, because if I flip my hair upside and hairspray it...she said I'd look like a troll.

Don't let T.Snook's run your life!

Living a Colorless Life...

Have you ever wondered how color blind people get dressed in the morning? Like...how do they know they match, or how do they know whether they're wearing a red shirt or a green shirt? Or how do they know what they're favorite color is if they can't even see all of them? I think living a colorless life would be kind of difficult because I LOVE colors. And my favorite color is PINKKKK! Here's a video on a kid I know, who just happens to be color blind...watch the whole thing, it's kind of funny.

The New Silver

Have you ever gone on a shopping trip to look for one thing inparticular and you just can't seem to find it, anywhere?! Unfortunately for me, that happens all the time. In fact, this just happened to me yesterday. I went to the mall with my mom to look for a pair of glitzy, silver shoes from my school's Senior Dinner Dance this weekend. Normally, that shouldn't have been so difficult, but did I have a variety of silver shoes to choose from? NO! I went to fourteen different stores and only ONE of them-which happened to be the very last one-had silver shoes at all. What did I see a lot of though? Gold, gold, gold! It was everywhere. Personally, I can't stand gold. It reminds me of that dirty brass color all the $5 rings from Walmart tarnish to. But hey, everyone's got their own opinion, right? And thinking about it, I have seen gold around a lot lately whether its in jewelry, shoes, or even the embellishings on clothing. But I'd say the rumors are true, whether or not everybody agrees with the decision, gold is taking over.

Manipulation

manipulate: to manage or influence skillfully, especially in an unfair manner; to suit one's' purpose or advantage.

 There are times where I've shocked myself with my manipulative tendencies. Looking back over the past couple of years, I've noticed there are a countless number of times where I've manipulated a situation to get what I wanted. Three of the main ways I've found myself doing this are by failing to tell the whole truth, having emotional responses, and using guilt trips to make people feel bad. Its not only mean doing this either, everybody does it, teenage girls especially. When I go out with my friends, there is always at least one thing I know we're gonna do that my parents wouldn't approve of. So what do I do? When I ask them for permission, I just happen to leave out that little detail. What they don't know won't hurt them, right? And if they do happen to find out, I use the excuse "I didn't know". Being told "no", I hate it. I can't stand it. Call me a drama queen, my parents do, but I cry. I cry, and cry, and cry...until my parents get so annoyed by me they just tell me to go. I feel bad at first when I do this, but once I'm actually out the door its as if my own guilt never existed. Which brings us to our last manipulative technique, the guilt trip. You want to go to an after-prom party for example, but your mom feels its to "unsafe". What do you do? Chances are you'll throw a fit. "Well _____ got to go to a party after her prom!" We've all done, each and every one of us. We've all sat there and tried to use somebody else's doing as an example to help our your own situation. Does it work? More often then not, yes. But that doesn't mean its okay. Everyone always wonders why when they become a teenager, their relationship with their parents change drastically. I know mine did, but I ialso know why too. Manipulation. That's the curse.
We've all done it, we all still try to do it, and we will all use it in the near future.
Its a part of us, we can't help it. But you shouldn't overuse it, people will catch on. And in the end you may end up not having any friends because everyone will just believe they're being used or you're a liar.
So manipulate as often as you want, just make sure you watch your back when you do it.

Bi-Polar Weather

Okay, so you get three days of pure sunshine with just a slight cool breeze, and then the next day as the sun's still shining you begin to see snowflakes falling to the ground...what's the deal with that? I mean I know the ozone layer is all screwed up because of car exhaust and hairspray, but does mother nature really have to keep playing with our minds like that? I don't know about anyone else, I just know I'm sick of it. Bring on the HEAT! So ladies I know you've been getting excited about unpacking all your summer clothes, but I'd suggest not storing away your winter clothes just yet 'cause by the looks of it, we may end up gettiinng a surprise blizzard in the middle of April!

laaaaame...

Multi-Colors or No Color...

Purple shirt, purple jeans, purple socks, purple shoes...no...no...NO!

There are 500 million bazillion colors in this world. DO NOT walk around wearing a single color from top to bottom, you will get strange looks.

Promise.

Mix it up a little!

Bleh.

I just got over being sick, everyone's getting sick...and now when I talk, I sound like a 70-year-old man whose smoked since he was 12.

Fantastic.

The Power Rangers are Back?



Lady Gaga=Green Hair

Rihanna=Red Hair

Katy Perry=Blue Hair

Nicki Minaj=Pink Hair

 Since when did the new "in" thing become rainbow hair? I mean granted, they're all  being completely original in their own little way, but neon hair? Really? The object of hair dye in general is to "enhance" your beauty, not to completely turn yourself into a Barbie doll. This sort of goes along with my last blog, about being fake; Rihanna used to be "normal" I guess we could call it, and Katy Perry was pretty normal as well. When Lady Gaga enters the fashion icon world however, EVERYBODY begins wearing meats to the Grammy's. Originality? I don't think so. Even in the celebrity world, everyone is trying to be like somebody else. These are people the world expects us teenagers to look up to, yet when we begin acting like them, we get into trouble? Talk about screwing with kids minds. I said it once, I'll say it one more time...BE YOURSELF!!!

Fake, Fake, FAKEEEEEE

My biggest pet-peeve: fake people, fake personalities, FAKE EVERYTHING!

Nobody likes a copycat, a wannabe, a backstabber, or a poser...so why try to be? With your friends of all people, especially your BEST friend. Isn't a best friend supposed to be somebody that you can trust with absolutely everything? The person you can go to when you feel that there's nobody else? I've always thought that's what a best friend was for, but apparently that's not the meaning of it for everybody. When your fake, your nothing. That's how I see it. You don't have a personality, you can hardly even say that you have a self-image because since its fake, nobody knows who you really are. Sadly, there are more fake people on this planet then we even want to let ourselves believe, but I guess we all have to face reality eventually. If you want to be fake, be my guest. You'll end up with nobody, or just surrounded by people just as fake as you are yourself, and eventually they'll end up disappointing you as much as you disappoint everyone else. There's no happiness that comes from it. So be real, be more then what you just want to be and actually BECOME it, don't fake it. Get what I'm trying to say? Its pretty clear...

Scrub a dub-dub

We're in high school. I'm pretty sure we're all well aware about the basics of hygiene. So why is it when we walk through the halls, you still happen to walk by people that smell as if they haven't bathed in three months? Is stinking the new "in" thing nowadays? Because honestly, I seem to be coming across that awful stench more and more with each passing day. Is bathing now "uncool"? If it is, call my the uncoolest  of them all because that's just flat GROSS! Maybe its confusion about the grundge look that also seems to be coming back into style; just because you spend money to look like a slob doesn't mean you have to actually smell like a slob too. Really, have some respect for yourself...or at least the people who have to smell you. Take a bath.
