I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. Mine was great. Had much fun at Brendii's party. I learned that I suck at table tennis and that Apples to Apples is an amazingly fun game.
I've had a few thoughts recently and I'm going to write them down so that I don't forget them.
1) I'm going to become a notary. Mom says I probably have to wait to be 21 to be one, so I'll bide my time and study up on it. I just think it would be totally cool to be a notary. I couldn't notorize my own stuff or my family's, but friends are free game. I'm not sure if that's a job or whatever or if I can make any money from notorizing stuff, but I figure I could be a notary in my spare time when I'm a book publisher. (Speaking of that, I should get to reading that book on publishing soon....)
2) I think being a stay- at- home parent should be a paid job. That way, more people would stay at home with their young children and maybe we could improve our society. Now, two parents go out and work and either leave their kids with a nanny-type person or come home and set their kids in front of the television and leave them there because they are too tired to hang out with the kids. It would have to either be a private enterprise or a government paid thing, but since the government sucks and we are a capitalist country, it would have to be a private enterprise. Which is cool, except that it would have to have some kind of profit and I can't think of any other than the betterment of society. Any ideas.
On another note, since I didn't want to subject myself to literary torture, I'm reading the "[push me off a] cliff notes" of the Twilight Saga. Twilighters scare me. Seriously. SMeyer is a misogynist of the worst kind and cannot write to save her life. Seriously. I haven't read the books, I know, but from the quotes I've seen, I'm glad I haven't. Instead, I'm getting a chapter by chapter recap from these "cliff notes" from an intelligent individual. Not only do these books not have a plot, but SMeyer has no idea how real people work. Romance does not equal stalking, violence, and emotional abuse. And Bella is a Mary Sue of the worse kind. Her only "flaw" is that she's incredibly clumsy, but even that doesn't count because apparently she can survive crashing face first off of a motorcycle and not have to go to the hospital. I won't even go into SMeyer's version of the vampire. They aren't vampires. They're sparklepires.
Patrick says I'm obsessed with these books. I am. I'm obsessed with hating them. I'm reading these "cliff notes" so that I can argue against the books whenever I meet a Twilighter. Little girls should not be reading these and be saying "Edward is so awesome!" or "I want to be just like Bella!" No. Nooooooo! We do not need abusive men being glorified and we do not need a generation of girls growing up thinking it's okay to fall into a catatonic state after being broken up or thinking that it's romantic to commit suicide after your boyfriend leaves you or dies. Ugh!
Anyway, I'm done with that.
Hahahahha.
So: Update on my room.
We primed and painted the walls and it is currently bug free. We're working on getting my sister's room bug free and cleaned out so that we can paint her room. After the painting, we're going to put down new carpet. (Sarah doesn't get new carpet. We're putting her old carpet over the new stuff in her room. ; P) I took my couch-futon out of Sarah's room and it's now sitting in the middle of my room as a bed. Yay, bed! I haven't had a bed since school! I was either on the floor at Pat's or on my couch-futon. I've been having back problems and trouble sleeping well, so hopefully problem solved. I'm going to get a personal fan soon, so that I won't be hot when I'm sleeping. (You guessed correctly. Josh destroyed the ceiling fan.) It's getting better, guys.
I'm going to go read my "How to make sewing patterns" book and see if I can learn anything.
Talk to you guys later!
Love,
Smeagul
