PK Bloggin'

I think I have... two more blogs to complete? Yeah, and I need them by tomorrow, third period.
Sooo, I'll venture back to the subject of friendship, since I kinda skipped over it.

A couple of hours ago, I was thinking about Disney World. And it reminded me of Michelle (haha, bet you didn't see that coming) and Mrs. Matthews. And so I started thinking about all of my English assignments due tomorrow. Then I remembered the prompt about friendship and it was the only thing I could think to write about. So, here I am, writing a blog about friendship.
Anyway, let's go back a little bit...
Michelle (don't freak out, I'm just using you to transition into my main topic).
This girl is my only childish friend. I don't mean childish in an offensive way, though. Around her, I actually feel like a kid again. We play I spy, chat about video games, go on crazy adventures, talk of golden toilets (haha), and all-in-all just act like 10-year-olds. Drama is non-existent when I'm around her, and that's the way I like it.
Growing old is somewhat of a fear for me. It's not on my top ten list of frightening things, but it doesn't fall in last place either. I think about moving out and getting my own dream house and my own pet and everything, but then I realize that when I'm older I may not have enough cash to get a fancy house, or enough time to care for a pet, and it scares me.
Anyway, this is getting to be too long. Time to sum it up.
I cherish those few moments of childishness, because when I face reality, I realize I'm almost an adult. I won't be able to act like a kid much longer.

OKAY. This blog kinda strayed from the topic a little... And it's rushed, so it sucks. Alyssa can do a spell check if she really feels like it. But I'm out for now. I'll try to come up with something else to write about for later.

-END CHEESY BLOG-

Hmm. I kinda just wrote a blog about leaders/role models.
So now I guess I'll write about... my career goals?

What do you want to be when you grow up?
You know, no matter how much thought I put into this question, I can never find an answer I'm happy with. At first, I thought about doing something English-y, like being an editor. I'm still considering it, but I don't find myself quite so certain anymore.
Right now, I'm actually interested in being a programmer, like for games and stuff. The only problem is that I don't have a clue how to do anything like that. I would take a computer class, but my schedule won't allow it. I would be fine dropping study hall, except for the fact that I tend to procrastinate a lot and need it badly...
So, I'm not really sure what job I want. For one thing, I'm too indecisive. I want to pick something that pays a good salary and makes me happy. I want work that I enjoy. A job that gives me something to do, but doesn't overload me with work.
I used to want to be a vet, but I don't think any sort of medical field would go too good with me.
So if anyone wants to suggest a career that would suit me, go right ahead!


Bleh. I know, crappy blog. I'm just feeling tired right now. Maybe I'll improve on it a bit.

I have only a few role models, most of which are my peers. The majority of my friends would be shocked at who they are, since they're so unlike me (which is kinda why I look up to them). I won't list them here, but I'll give you a few key aspects I like in each one...

Aggressiveness. I know in health class everyone was taught to be assertive, not aggressive. I don't think that's always the case. Aggressive people speak their mind and don't care about the consequences--a trait I wouldn't mind having. I always think twice before commenting on anything. I never want to hurt anybody's feelings, stomp on anyone's beliefs. I tread with caution, especially in conversation. For once, I'd like not to care. Go ahead and call me a bad person for it; I'm too scared to say anything back.

Tolerance. Each of my role models have this quality. Tolerance of what? Well, anything. They always keep in mind a person's race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, handicaps, and never judge. They only form opinions of a person by their actions, and are generally accepting of people. I strive to be like this, even though sometimes my first impressions get in the way.

Determination. This is one trait I really need to work on. I have so many things I have yet to complete because I dropped out at the last second or just plain forgot about them. I always say to myself "I'm gonna do this" and somehow always fall short. This applies to most things, even my school work. I've started so many books, puzzles, games, and left most all of them unfinished. Though the one thing I'm determined to follow through on is band. And I have my reasons for that. Haha, gave up on that too... Who would've guessed it.

There are so many other positive things that I idolize about these people: their will power, likeability, leadership skills... But there just isn't enough time to go into detail.

Lots of people say I look like my mom, but I don't really see the resemblance. The relative I think I'm most like is my sister Sarah. We look alike, sound alike, and even laugh alike--loudly, whilst hitting things (and people). We get along, for the most part. But there are times when we don't. Imagine this: a little 4-year-old girl sweetly asking her older sister for a glass of Mountain Dew. Now imagine the older sister giving her a cup filled with pickle juice instead.
It's a good thing I like pickles.

Stephanie and I are almost total opposites. We argue about the smallest things everyday, but eventually we deal. People are always shocked upon discovering the fact that we're even remotely related. They could maybe see us as distant cousins... maybe. But never twins. That's what makes being sisters so great.
