I’d appreciate it greatly.

It won’t change my opinion about you.

It’s just… I need to know what people think of me.
I’m a bit insecure, so I’d rather know who likes me who doesn’t.

So if you could…

Please fill out this:

Name:

Do you like me? Yes/No?:

If no, why?:

Thank you. <3`

But yeah. I decided to wake up at 4am. Ahaha, it was great. Everyone calls me insane, I guess I am. But I didn’t have much of a choice but to get up that early, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get up.

Well, anyway, back to my day. It started out pretty good, and it pretty much ended well, ‘cept for the fact that my bus decided not to pick me up..=T Oh well, I got a ride with my neighbor. And then…I started school. I got there extremely early, and well, it was kind of creepy, to be honest, because like, I was one of the only freshman there…I saw like 3 people I recognized, but I never really talked to them, and it would have been kind of awkward talking to them, but whatever. So, I went to my locker and put my stuff in and yeah. =T I have a yellow locker this year, and I have black stuff, y’know like, mirror, and shelves, so my locker looked like a bumble-bee!! Haha, Joking~ But it sorta did. Anyway, after that, I went into the gym to get my schedule again, and I ran into a lot of people I knew! It was great. But yeah. After that I went back to my locker and headed off to Health with Miller. It was okay…So onto it all.;

Health

So, that class was interesting..ly boring. Mrs Miller has attitude for sure though! It was insane. She seemed pretty nice, but we were in that class forever, and she just talked…and talked…and talked….and talked..I hated it. But yeah, I had a lot of my friends in that class, so it was all good.

Geometry

So, after Health, I headed off to the second floor to Mr. Grubis’ room. He’s an alright guy, his class wasn’t so bad. Lucky me, I had friends again in that class. [Woo!] So we sat together..Then he seperated Ella and I..But me and Annie still sat together because of our last names. He made us do a little worksheet thing.. Wasn’t too hard. =T Then he gave us a syllabus and stuff.

English Honors

So yeah, English Honors. Umm. Well, Ms. Heimer was nice. But OMGOD. She’s soooo freaking organized! She gave us her syllabus, and it had everyday of the year, planned out! It was insane! But yeah, it was a pretty good class overall.

Biology

This class was alright, not much to say about it. Ms. Beale made us do some surveys and stuff- But they weren’t hard. Once again, I knew a LOT of people. ;] So, I was pretty happy with that. There were some people in the class I didn’t know,too, but I don’t really plan on getting to know them..Since I don’t think they want to get to know me.

Orchestra

Well, it was an alright class. We just sat there and talked pretty much, but it was okay. Tomorrow I have to bring in my instrument…Greeaaatt.. But yeaah. I’m sharing a locker with Lauren, it’s awersomes! ;D There are some people in my orchestra class, that were in my class a couple years ago. It’s kind of funky, but oh well..

AK Studies

Well, I didn’t want this class. I wanted French, but It’s an alright class now. I know pretty much everyone, so it’s superly awesome. ;D But, I’d still rather be taking French. You know? But yeaah. The teacher in this class is overly-talkative. It kind of freaks me out..But then again, she’s kind of boring, too. I have this assignment in that class, but I totally forget what it is..Something to do with current events though. =T

Anyway, that was my day- condensed. Umm, yeah~ Hopefully tomorrow won’t be as chaotic. ;D

I suppose I should start this off with a bit about myself..

My name’s ..Well, you can just call me Raccoon. I’m 14 years old, currently a freshman at WVSH. :] Not that I’m proud of that or anything..Just stating the facts. Now, to completely throw all of you off, and disappoint those few out there, I unfortunately have to say, because I live in Alaska, I don’t have the awesome priviledge of living in an ice house(igloo), nor do I ride a polar bear to school, much less own a pink penguin named, Steve. Really. My god, I have no clue who started those stupid little rumors. It’s a pain in the ass, and it makes others seem so utterly stupid. ;D I mean, for God’s sake! Penguins live in Antarctica, for crying out loud! Also, because Alaska is home to polar bears does NOT mean that they would be tame. ;T I mean, seriously. Polar bears live near Barrow, and Prudhoe Bay, which is the most northern area of Alaska. =_=; Most people don’t LIVE up there. There are families, yes, who live in that area…But most people live in the slightly not less remote areas, such as Anchorage, Wasilla, Juneau, etc. etc. ..Also, it makes me slightly mad, that people aren’t getting the geography facts straight. Sorry for those ‘Texans’ who believe ‘Bigger is Better’, or just other kinds of people, Alaska is larger than Texas. I mean, c’mon, It’s about 1/3 of the whole United States. And that’s saying a lot.. ;O But enough about that.

I started this blog because I feel the need to express myself, and try to get across to those I can…I mean, why not live life to it’s fullest, and experience a bit of everything that’s possible..It’s like going into a restaurant, and getting the buffet. Instead of just getting what you know is good, It’s better to try a bit of everything, to broaden your knowledge.

Honestly, I really doubt I’ll find one reader who would ever bother to read this- I mean, why? I’m just a 14 year old girl, just like millions of other people in this world, who write on these things. Why should I be anymore special, and have people subscribe or read what I write? Am I as important as some people are in this world? What’s the point in writing these things anyway? ..The answer: I don’t know. I don’t care. I mean, what’s the point in worrying and obsessing over these little details? -There is no point. It’s quite meaningless, to tell you the truth. So why do I even bother?

Because I feel the need to express myself- Just like every other human being in this world. We all are just human. We all have needs. We all have wants. It’s just a part of living in this world. Wouldn’t it be just oh-so-much-simpler if nobody had the willpower to think on their own? Wouldn’t it be better if there was no such thing as currency, tariff, wars? Wouldn’t it be better if the whole world was part of an allegiance, or maybe even some kind of treaty? Or maybe the world would be a better place if we were all under one nation?

God, that just makes me sick.

Maybe the world would be a better place. But I would really doubt it. What makes everything unique, is the fact we WANT to be unique. We have the NEED to be different from the person next to us, to the person we hate, to the person we want to be EXACTLY alike. We all have our rivals, we all have our admirers, we all have our idols- So, if we were to live in that kind of world…To say the least, people would certainly die of boredom. Literally. A humdrum lifestyle does not shape a person- nor does it teach them the many qualities which reside inside of them. That’s what life is, really. You grow to learn. You seek knowledge. You pass the knowledge you learn onto future generations, so that they can pass on that information, and so on.. But, if we did live in a world like that..We wouldn’t have anything to learn off of. If there were no wars- If there were no heartaches..No pain, suffering, torment, starvation, loneliness..If there wasn’t any of that, then what kind of world would we live in? To learn, you have to go through a trial and error sort of thing..Where you have to go through a barricade of challenges, to achieve what you seek. And to learn, you must learn from your mistakes. ‘If mankind does not study its history, the future is doomed to repeat the past’..Which is true. If we didn’t learn from our mistakes, our mistakes will just keep repeating, which can be chaotic in some cases..

When I started this today..I didn’t expect to get so deeply into it. It was supposed to be something where I could just write a few words, and sign off..But now, I feel the need to think about things, and how things could be different, how things could be better and such, and all those, ‘what if’ questions that lurk on my mind. My teacher in middle school..She always told me to be open-minded and question everything. She opened my mind to all the possibilities that there ever could be. Since she was my history teacher, she taught me to not just look at one side of history- You must look from all different perspectives, to really get some kind of feel on what was going on. Because history does not just happen from one point of view.

I know that some people are close-minded. I know people don’t like to look ‘beyond the box’ But to learn, you really must have to. Put yourself into another’s position. How would you feel? What would you do? Empathy is so intangible- Yet some people can carry this characteristic with them. Those who can, are the ones who really have experienced something, that helpes them learn. Those are the few who will rise to the challenge, and be able to become someone great.

So..’Carpe Diem.’ I didn’t meant to make you read all this babble from me..If you did read it all, I would be surprised. So, if you did read this all, please leave a comment..I’d appreciate it, you know? :] Au Revoir.

Raccoon. <3
