See the look on my face, from staying too long in one place.

So, it's activity day, again, at my high school and, as it turns out, my grade has been excluded... again.

Rock climbing, bowling, laser tag, yoga, martial arts and kickboxing... frankly, its kind of frustrating that we are being denied this. Maybe it's because they think since we have proms and grad trips that "make up for it?" Well, if thats the case, they (whoever "they" are) are stupid. We're paying for it, anyhow. Whatever we do in terms of extra-curriculars is paid for by us. This is rediculous.

Curiosity, The Young And The Free, There For All To See...

So, there has been some recent (fairly recent, anyhow) speculation on whether or not teens are aware of the lesser-known dangers of public domains, such as the facebook, and the myspace. And, of course, The Twitter. The "Three Thes," as a generation of concerned parents so lovingly call them (If they don't, I think that they should).

I think and article I read recently called "Are we too paranoid about Facebook?" said it best. There are certainly reasons for which we should be worreid about privacy and websites of that ilk, but we have the means with which to avoid the flow of information that is readily available to the general populace. It really is as simple as a quick browsing of your privacy settings.

These sites, I believe, are a good -- if not wonderful -- place for social intearction. Albeit, not necessarily social interaction of the live, person-to-person variety, but social interaction nonetheless. In fact, facebook and its, well, I'll call them "cohorts" for now, have, in some adverse parental-unit mind-destroying kind of way, brought the world together.

A Dozen Writing Tips

This is stupid. Helpful, yes, but stupid. Assignment done.

I have effectively managed to put this off for a whole two days. But now, its crunch time, I guess, and I'm writing this from the school library the day in which this post is due. Yes, boys and girls, this blog is the product of a JOURNALISM CLASS. Cue ominous "dun, dun, dun!"

So, up until the day that I am no longer bound by the requirements of said course... This blog belongs to, well, me... But the flow of information is likely to be limited, and of a different ilk than the likes of which I would prefer...

Woohoo.

Goodbye.

P.S: If you would like a more in-depth explanation in regards to what it is, exactly, that I dislike about this particular assignment than what I would care to write here, please visit my friend Girl With One Eye...

When the dog days are over, we shall watch things on VCRs.

Hello, this is your conscience speaking. And I'm here to tell you... "The British are coming!" But don't head for the hills!

That's right, boys and girls. Its another British Invasion! Featuring popular bands such as "Florence and The Machine" and "The XX", this new wave of Brits seem to rock a more "indie" vibe. With songs such as "Dog Days are Over", which was featured on the soundtrack of the newly released movie "Eat.Pray.Love" and performed-- in quite the exquisite fashion, I must say-- at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, Florence is definitely making her mark. As well as  The XX, who boast various songs featured on popular television shows such as "Grey's Anatomy" and "Gossip Girl", It seems that the British invasion is only another chart-topper away.

So, in light of the aforementioned British Invasion, I would suggest you do not fight it. Just let it happen. I already have my Florence tickets, My fellow Blogger 'The Girl With One Eye' is going with me. You should get yours, too...
