Ok I'm sitting here in my school library with my friend and we're reading random stuff off of facebook. And making som random stuff up.  I'm not quite sure why I'm not doing something productive, but whatever.

So I will be discussing some of the finer points in why Twilight is NOT the best series out there.

1. Stephanie Myers completely ignores the fact that traditional vampires can not be invited into the homes of the mortals.

2. Vampires do not sparkle.

3. What happens when Bella gets her period?  Does Edward freak out?

4. Edward is an abusive being.  Nay, abusive subbeing.  He's not even a gentleman.

5. I would have more if I could think right now

Ok so I have been working somewhat hard the past few days.  Semester has started up in the beginning of the month and now I am 3 weeks into the semester.  I am currently getting all As and pretty happy. I am pretty happy with myself.  I also have some political issues that are going on but unwilling to discuss them at this point.  Once I have more items to add to my political post, I will add them.

Ok I have no idea why I'm so tired.  Maybe it's because of my constant waking up at the wee hours of the morning.  Maybe its because I get to sleep at ten then wake up at 6 thinking that it's seven.  Maybe its because when I wake up, I see the clock and I think that it's 7 because the clock says 7 but it really says 6.  Maybe it's a combo of all three.  Maybe I should just fall asleep earlier today.  Maybe.


But on the plus side, it's my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mommy!!!!

Ok so I recently heard that the end of the world is December 21, 2012.  Which makes me 20.  This thought is so depressing for me because Iʻm still young but all my siblings are even younger.  My baby sister would only be 10!  OMG this is so bumming me out.  I hate it.  But I am praying to God that this wonʻt happen.  I donʻt want to end because the Mayan Calender is ending.  I need a hug and some reassurance.  Big time.  I have the feeling that I want to curl up in my bed and die right here, right now.  But Iʻm scared of the whole death thing still.  The thought of dying bums me out even more!  CRAP!  Dying is another fear I have that I can add on my list now.  Double crap.

So I resumed school on Monday.  Big whoop.  New classes, new people, new teachers.  But it is also the beginning of my last semester as a high school senior.  Ugh I hate the sound of it.  I've worked hard to get to where I am and now I'll be starting fresh after the summer break.  I hate the idea, but it's true.  After wanting to be where I am, I'm here only to have the thought that I'll be the baby again.  But that's life.  You end things by beginning with something significant that shows you how you will end it.  If that makes any sense.

And an off topic thing, a close friend moved somewhere on the continental US.  Which is a bummer because I didn't formally say goodbye.  But from what I've heard, she is doing well. I hope to see her soon.

Ok I know I should be running and everything, but I don't want to but I have to because my community event is coming up soon.  January 31 to be exact.  Ugh stupid 10K.  Stupid manditory running.  I knew I would have to run anyways, but now that I think about it, I should've done the Friends of Kailua Run.  I'm not much of a runner and wasn't even ready to do that run.

But it's good that I'm at least attempting to push myself right?  Kinda.  I'm getting really backed up on my runs but I'm going to work on that this week.  Before I started Kamehameha, I couldn't run more than 5 minutes w/o stopping to walk.  But now I can jog (my definition of jog is a cross between a slow run and a fast walk which is really good for me) and I can do a 17 minute mile.  :)  Never knew I had it in me!

I have only a single week left while all my siblings have another two!  I guess its good that I only have a week left.  That way I don't put off anything other running.  And I would have less time to get bored easier.  :)  But we might see a movie before I go back to school.  :)  Happy happy joy joy!

Ok so I wrote to a talk show host that I usually listen to when I'm not living at school.  I know its kinda weird that some 17 year old kid has these thoughts but I still have them!

Here I go:

 I'm a 17 year old female Hawaii senior and been listening to your show nonstop for about a year and about four months on and off because of where I currently am.

First off, with all this talk about the different bailouts that President Bush is signing, why can't he just let some of the banks, stock markets, car companies, etc. go bankrupt so that taxpayers like you or my parents and future payers like myself don't have a burden of possible debt in our future?

Secondly, why are we spending money on helping other countries instead of using that money to help ourselves?  It doesn't seem right that we're trying to help others when we can barely survive ourselves with the crisis we're considered to be in.

Lastly, I've also heard that we're considered to be close to a severe depression.  If that were true, wouldn't the average unemployment rate of the entire United States be getting higher at an extremly rapid rate?  I know that here in Hawaii the unemplyment rate is 4.9% and that isn't changing much.  If it were a close depression, wouldn't EVERYBODY across the board be suffering really bad?

I'm just a bit hazy on the facts and I was wondering if you can clear some things up for me.

Thank you,

Jordan

 

If anyone wants through their opinions, I'm totally willing to discuss anything.

Merry Christmas!  May you enjoy every moment with your family!

Ok so I was stressing really bad about passing my semester one finals.  I didnʻt want to study but I did anyway.  Well, for some classes.  Ok just math but its a class!  I ended up getting a 70% (C-) on that exam.  The rest of the exams were B-'s or better!  This is totally thrilling and a very emotional time for me. 

I was, and still am, thrilled that I even passed any of my classes with my knowledge!  I mean really know do you know how crazy that is?!?  I thought that I would fail at least two classes, but I end up getting B-ʻs or better!


Do any of you know how amazingly amazing that is?

Ok so Twilight is a big thing now right?  Right.  Well I thought that the first three books were well written.  However, there were some things that I didn't agree on.

First off, Bella is a whiny teen who doesn't know who her real friends are and who to stay away from.  Mike is a great kid who wants to let Bella know that he's always there for her but Bella rejects the idea of him putting himself out there for her help.

Edward seems like a great guy at first, but when you get to know him a bit better, he is slightly manipulative, creepy, and slightly abusive. 

Edward is manipulative because when he saves Bella from being crushed by a van, he keeps saying that he was right next to her all the time when Bella knows that he was across the parking lot.  Hello!  I know that he wants to keep the vampire thing a secret but at least admit that you did some crazy superpower thing!

Edward is creepy because when Bella was sleeping, HE'S IN HER ROOM LOOKING AT HER!!!  COME ON PEOPLE IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL ROMANTIC WHEN BELLA DOESN'T "LOVE" HIM YET AND HE GOES AND LOOKS AT HER?!?!?!  Really get a grip!

Edward is abusive because when he drags Bella by the arm and Bella tries to get away, he won't let go and Bella knows that she won't be able to get away!  Come on that's what I consider abusive.

When Bella doesn't tell Charlie about her relationship with Edward until the 2nd/3rd book, don't you think thats a bit sad?  I mean, you would tell your parents that you found a guy right?  I mean I would.

Lastly, I had to force myself to read Breaking Dawn.  The book was so horrible!  I loved the part when Alice and Jasper come back because those are the only two characters I enjoy reading about. But Meyer took forever just to explain what Bella was going through and I was ready to scream because everything was just so redundant.  I hated it!  Just stab me with a knife or something!  The part when Bella and the witnesses went up against the Voultri and their witnesses, that was totally painful too!  Just stab me again but this time use a seraded knife! Ugh!
