Let’s talk about Graduation Projects..

Truth be told I haven’t written a blog entry in a few weeks.
Well, if you actually pay attention I shouldn’t have to state that, but since I’m not the most popular person in the world, no one would think that I’m dead or anything anyways.  Then again, those few who did decide to read my blog might think that I gave up blogging, or they found it boring waiting for me to write another awesome yet random blog and just forgot about me completely.
Anyways, one of the reasons for my absence is what’s known in this lifetime as a…
a…
Graduation Project
-lets out a shrieky-yell-
Wait Sarahh! Back up!….you’re going to talk about something serious for once?”
Why yes my friends. Yes I am.  Be rest assured that I will end up talking about random things about 75% of the time, but the other 20% will be devoted to talking about something that is worthwhile to read. Not that my other blogs aren’t worthwhile, but the 20% stuff will be for people who want to actually spend quality time reading something good online. I realize this still leaves another 5%, but I want to leave that 5% open for any other blog I decide to write that is neither random nor worthwhile. Because you never know.
Back to my point. If you don’t know what Graduation Projects are….consider yourself lucky.  I myself wish I didn’t know what they are.  They are a requirement in our school system to graduate.
Which, personally, I find stupid.
Let’s look at things from this perspective.
Let’s say you were an awesome student.  You went through elementary, middle, and even high school with good grades—A’s and B’s—and you were a fairly good student who participated in school functions and extra-curricular activities offered to you throughout your educational career.
Let’s say you did everything right, and quite possibly wound up being in the top 10 graduating students.
Would it be fair then to keep that student from graduating simply for not passing a graduation project?
I think not.  I find the graduation project a complete and utter waste of time, and it serves no real purpose.
I doubt there’s really going to be a single person out there, years from now, who is going to say “Man…doing that graduation project back in high school really changed my life.” Because it won’t. There are a shitload of graduating seniors past and present who didn’t have to do a graduation project and are still up there in the world of today.  I bet Oprah or Bill Gates never had to do one, and look where they’re at now!
Not only are they a waste of time and energy, so much emphasis is put on them.  It’s over the top.  And the school almost gives the impression that it’s the most important thing you’re going to ever do with your life, and that’s just not going to be the case.
It almost seems to be an unspoken dislike among the general public and I haven’t seen it publically assessed.  But they are really stupid, and should be done away with.  Because it’s a lot of unneeded stress and strain on already busy high school students.

Randomly Got Really Excited..and let's talk about Sleeporexia

So, why did I get excited? I saw that my only follower was randomly publicizing for me and it made me really, really, REALLY happy. Like, I was already having a fairly good day and then BAM! I saw yahoo answers and there it was. So I'm glad someone at least is supportive of me. That makes me feel so freaking special you have no idea.

So, I have to write something else for the blog to be at least an actual blog.
So let's talk about a new term I came up with yesterday.
What is it? Sleeporexia.
"Why Sarahh, what the hell is that?" you might be asking yourself.
Quite simply, it's a more awesome way to say insomniac.

This topic came up last night when I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone. I sleep a lot and we were talking about how much I sleep and I randomly said I was a sleeporexic. And then I realized it'd be more an absence of sleep than an exaggerated presence, so I decided that it's a good term. A better term than insomniac. So if you become an insomniac, think about calling yourself a sleeporexic. And giving me the credit. Buahahaha. And then I asked what the opposite of an insomniac was and suggested to myself that it was simply a somniac. Haha. And so I decided that instead of being a somniac, or supersomniac. Oh! I like that term. It makes me sound like a superhero. I'm going to draw a picture to show SuperSomniac!

Yeah. As you can see...SuperSomniac is very rich so she can afford to sleep all the time and not have any kind of income. No income. At all.
So she's a pretty crappy super hero...but she's awesome at sleeping! Yay!
Oh and the other thing I was gonna say was that last night I decided I was a sleepaholic, but now that I figured out that SuperSomniac sounds soooo much cooler, that's what I am instead.

So now you know the story of how sleeporexia came to be. The End.

Let's Talk About Blogging, Shall We?

This blog is probably going to be pretty boring, but at this point, I don't really care.
I've had a rough day attempting to figure out how to make my blog page prettier.
"But Sarahh," you may say, "it already looks so amazing, why would you want to make it even better?" Well, my friends, it's because that's how awesome I am. And I'm kind of OCD/ADD/ABCDEFG and all the other letters in between, so I have the need to make what already looks awesome, look awesomer. (Bad grammar, but roll with it)
So, I was looking on other people's blogs today and saw how amazing they were. And that, of course, made me want to make mine look awesome too.
So I decided to learn how to use html codes on this site.
...I failed.
I've been trying for over two hours just to make a copyright image work, and of course, it says that you can't use an IMG tag whenever you post that, so I don't know how the other bloggers do it. I guess they're just a lot more awesome than I am.
Update: I figured out the way around it. It just took some time. I know I have my awesome moments 
I've run out of patience...for now. But knowing me, a few hours from now I'll be right back at this point, even more frustrated than I am right now, and still getting nowhere.

So, that's my first little rant about blogging.  The next is what happened to me yesterday.  It was simply deciding on a name.  Now, you may think choosing a blog name is easy, but when you are indecisive and really don't know how in the hell to make up your mind, it might take you hours to decide which name you want.  Last night I had my blog names narrowed down to these four: "Life on Pause", "Faint Stupidity" (which I think I'm going to use as the name of one of my blog posts one of these days soon), "Irrelevant Awesomeness", and "Perspective of Irrelevance".

From there, I decided to ask people what they thought was coolest, and in the beginning, Life on Pause was getting the most votes. Then someone on a chat site said that it was the name of a book or vlog or something and stole my thunder.  I googled it anyways and didn't find much, but I was afraid of copyright infringement so I decided to disregard that title completely. I thought yay. Only three to choose from now! I'm actually getting closer to making a decision. And then I had three. Faint Stupidity wasn't really my biggest option because I'm not really stupid. Although originally yesterday my boyfriend told me he liked that, which really meant "Your blog should be called that because I think you are faintly stupid". But I'm not stupid. Not really anyways. I'm just dorky.

So then, I had it narrowed down to either Irrelevant Awesomeness, or Perspective of Irrelevance.  Either way I realized that by having these two titles, only people who were at least 25% smart would read the blog, because you have to kind of understand what the word 'irrelevant/irrelevance" means to want to read the blog.  So at least I know that somewhat intelligent people would want to read it. And then I couldn't decide. I kept asking people and every other person was going back and forth between the names.
And then at one point I was talking to my boyfriend and said "I was going to use Perspective of Irrelevance and then someone else said I should use Irrelevant Awesomeness instead."
Then he was like "Go for Perspective of Irrelevance"
And I said "Okay!" and Viola! My decision was made.
But I can't claim all the credit for choosing on my own. My boyfriend kind of had to choose for me. Which I'm not completely against.

So then I was happy because I was indecisive all day and at like 10:00 last night the decision was made. So then I went through making my first blog. And being really..spastic in the process. But I think the blog is cool. And this blog seems boring in comparison. But that's not my fault. I just don't have anything interesting to say, except to complain about how I don't understand HTML codes. By the way, if anyone does understand them, could you help me please? It would be extremely appreciated and I would draw you an amazing picture and love you forever. If you want to be loved forever, and get an awesome picture, you should help me.

Uhhhmm that's it!

Update: Boyfriend was very offended about what I said about him. He said "Now i feel bad. and look bad to the whole internet! The internet is going to judge the shit out of me now!"
So, just to clarify, boyfriend is a wonderful caring creature. Mostly. And he's not bad or anything so if you get that impression from this, it's not completely true.

Welcome!

Wow. That's a super cheesy way to start off my first blog. But I really don't know what else to say. I'm just kind of testing everything out to see how everything looks when it's done. And then I'll go on from there. So, let's start off with the basics. Hello to whoever decided to venture off in the world of blog-reading to read this. I'm Sarahh. Well, my birth certificate specifies that my name is Sarah, but I think that's way too common, so I had to put another 'h' on my name. And Sara is never an option. It's just a horrible way to spell Sarah. It's an unbalanced name. How so? Well when capitalized, the name Sarah is big-little-little-little-big, whereas Sara is just big-little-little-little. It's scientifically shown therefore that Sarah is better. And Sarahh is even better. Because 2 h's are better than one. Okay so you know my name after that rant. And you should realize by this name that I am a girl. If I was a boy I would pity myself and not have gone to the trouble of explaining why Sarahh is better than Sarah is better than Sara.

And at this point in my blog I am going to take a short break and try out the different features this site has to offer. Call me a dork if you wish, but I will call it awesome.  Big font small font  BOLD Italicized Bold Italicized Underlined Bold Italicized Underlined aaand strikethrough! Cooleo. What else is there? Arial Courier Georgia Helvetica Times Trebuchet Veranda.  I kinda like Georgia. Oh text color! Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Another shade of blue Purple Pink Pink on black purple on black blue on black other blue on black green on black yellow on black orange on black red on black. Black on red black on orange black on yellow black on green black on blue black on other blue black on purple. this is more noticeable than i thought it'd be! black on pink Okay. 


What else is there...Oh I can add a link
and a picture




 and a video 




Change the alignment to center
Or right
or to justified. which doesn't really work unless you write enough words to cover up a line. It still doesn't really work actually. But I probably won't worry about it anyways.

  1. can
  2. make
  3. a
  4. numbered
  5. list

  • or 
  • do
  • bullets
  • instead

I can also quote things. Which pretty much just indents them a bit XD


Hmm that seems about all I can do.


And that my friends I believe is how I"m going to end this first blog. Don't worry; the blogs will get better and more interesting. But until then, in the fine words of Forrest Gump, 
That's all I have to say about that
