Realistic Dreams

I just had one of THE most realistic dreams of my life. It involves a guy I asked to a concert with me next week. And a friend I asked to go with me, also.

I guess all the clocks in my house were on different times in my dream, and I thought it was seven when it was really three and I thought we were going to be late to line up to get in because you pay at the door and it's a first come first serve kinda deal and I want floor seats again like last year. So, anyway, my dream at first was that we were late, because I thought we missed the concert when we really didn't, and it was dark, so that further convinced me that we missed it. Then, I guess, we were in church, and I have a crush on that guy, so we were all flirty and together all the time and my friend somehow disappeared, then I had to change my pants or something and I got really hot and woke up. I don't really have a knack for telling stories, but I just had to put this down somewhere.

The Heresy of Assigned Lunch Seats

The first quarter of my sixth grade year was okay. I don't remember a lot of it. Most of the memories come from the lunches. My entire sixth grade class was the biggest. Of course we had the horrible boys who made everything hell. There was this one boy. He and his gang of croonies always threw food at people. So they(the teachers) separated the boys and the girls. The girls on one side of the lunch room, the boys on the other. We were pretty okay with this. Then it got worse. Because everything always gets worse when boys get together with each other. So then we got assigned lunch seats. I mean, on every table, there was a list of six random names. You had to sit with those people until they changed it. It was hell. The whole point was to get us to talk to different people and find things in common with each other. Nope. That didn't happen. Ideas that come from teachers that never had kids never do. So I ended up never talking to anyone at my table. I had other friends. When it was discovered that we could get up and go to another table to talk to our friend at the end of the hour, we did, and we were much happier. They switched names about every two months. I never made any friends that way. Then rolled around seventh grade. We were put in alphabetical order. I was stuck with the two biggest idiots in the entire grade. One was stupid enough in fifth grade to make fun of me by saying to me, "Hey, look! I'm singing the Chinese National Anthem! Ching, Chong, Ping..." And so forth. I told on him. He got in trouble. I've despised him ever since. The other was just an idiot. But I didn't have anything against him until this one day. He was telling me I was eating dog. And just going on and on about it. The other guy joined in. I was so furious I started crying and had to go tell the principal. I wrote a long letter about why I was crying. All he had to do was go sit with the teachers. He didn't get suspended or anything. Now that I'm in high school, we don't have that. We do, however have a Friends of Rachel club. Every Thursday, they try to make us sit with people we have something in common with. For instance, they tried to have us sit at tables with our favorite color. Then it was birth month. Since it wasn't reinforced, we didn't comply.

Look, my point is, teachers don't get that some students aren't comfortable outside their comfort zone. Most students loathe sitting with people they don't know. I know I do. I'm asian, and I was known as the shy asian kid who didn't talk much. I didn't talk much because I know that the people I sat with will make stupid assumptions and judge me by how little they know of where my ancestors lived, and what they know of me. They say I'm an angry person. There's a reason for that. I've had so many people ask me if I speak Chinese. Yes, I do. I'm not going to perform for you like some pet that can do tricks. My bus driver asked me where I came from. I knew she wanted to hear something like "I lived in Beijing, but then I came here, and there are SOOO many opportunities..." Tough luck. I was born in the good ol' U.S. of A., old lady. Not everyone who's diffrent was born somewhere else. These lunch seats just symbolize stuff that people think can do good, but really does more harm. I guess I could say I'm stronger because of it, but that would be a lie.

Now, in my high school, they're trying to force us to make friends, I think that's ridiculous. We form our circle by seventh grade. Where I live, the elementary, the middle, and the high school are all in the same area. You can walk from the high school to the middle school and elementary school and vice versa. Honestly, we all made our friends and our judgements BEFORE high school, and no one is going to break out of that circle to please the teachers. It's like communism. Or dictatorship. These people need to butt out of our lives and get one of their own.

Does Love Have to Hurt?

Alright, am I in love with this guy? I don't know, but I DO know that I had/have a crush on him and I don't know what to do now because I went to his little twelve-year-old brother's birthday party today, and all the guys there, and I mean ALL, were immature perverts from my rival school. I mean, seriously? How stupid is my life? I FINALLY find a guy who I don't think is a jerk, who's really sweet and really nice and suddenly I see his friends and something just cracked.

I think I'm dying. I'm going to die. Of heartbreak. You know what else? He used to live in the country. With no neighbors, so I thought I at least had a chance. I thought maybe he liked me back since we hung out ALL NIGHT last Friday at Bible Study(We didn't do anything bad, you gutter-minded invisibles). But I guess not. There's this neighbor girl he has, and now I think he likes her. Maybe it's just jealousy, but I'm feeling a little depressed right now. I'm not exactly the type who just flirts with a guy unless I think he's worth it. I thought he was worth it. Now I don't know. I don't know anymore and I don't wanna know anymore.

I just want to crawl in a hole and sleep forever. This year is turning out to be the WORST year of my life. Nothing's going right. Nothing. Neither is this blog.

Ah....high school.

High school. The wonderful "best years" of your life. Yeah...not so much. Now that I'm no longer a freshie, I get annoyed by them. I'm annoyed by how much shorter most of them are, and I am an extremely short person. I barely reach five foot. It's quite annoying. You know what else annoys me? The fact that we're in marching band, and we're supposed to be playing our hearts out, and you can barely hear us because the freshmen aren't playing loud enough, therefore causing the rest of us to play softer because we don't want to be conspicuous. I myself haven't been doing that, but it's really awkward when you're playing as loud as you can, and you can only hear yourself. What makes it all the more awkward is that we have to memorize it, and sometimes I make mistakes. We're playing Billy Joel. I'm really hoping that I wasn't this annoying when I was a freshman. There's this one, Andrew(changed to protect privacy). He's a jerk. Especially today, to this one girl, Xavia(still changed, but that was the name of one of the seniors last year). Xavia's not really the skinniest person around, and she's kind of quiet and not very pretty, but Andrew really had no right to belittle her when she was just a little off when we were practicing our new drills today. Breanna(changed) told her she was just a LITTLE off and Andrew was like "Oh, good job, Xavia!" in this really loud voice.

Pissed me off that a stupid freshman like him could feel so powerful when he's not. Not at all. Not one bit. I hate people like that who think they're so much better than others when they're really not.

Other drama to report: Stupid Racist African-American girl. I don't care about her privacy so I'll use her real name. Allison King. Find her on Facebook and spam her for all she's worth. She hates me. I've never done anything to her, but since I'm of an Asian ethnicity, she automatically hates me and thinks I smell. I DON'T SMELL. Not one bit. I take showers every day, which is more than what can be said for her. She herself admitted to this other girl that she showered once a week. Maybe every two weeks. Ew. So gross. I can't even think about how very unhygenic that is. It's like "When I come around, you automatically begin to notice your own odor." She's a shallow, whiny, fake. And I'm not being racist. There are a whole lot of other african-americans that I knew earlier in my lifetime and they were really nice, and I was really nice to them, but this girl is the epitome of hypocrite. Anyway, my friend knows that Allison hates me, and so my friend hates Allison because my best friend has been my best friend since fifth grade. Turns out that Allison has been throwing things at one of my other friends, who's really quiet and doesn't really talk much except around her real friends, kinda like me.

So my best friend(I'll call her sky, since that's her username) is sitting at the lunch table, and she has a clear shot of the back of Allison's head. To get back at her for throwing things at Georgia(other friend, name changed), Sky decides to throw animal crackers at her. She told me she missed the first time, but the second time she hit her in the back of the head. I know this is a random story, but I HAVE to tell the world. Anyway, Allison didn't know who threw the cracker but she was P.O.'ed. Geraldine was sitting at the table, too, and decided to tell Nicole. Nicole is this notorious gossip who tells rumors and lies to get attention. So she told Allison that Sky threw it, and Allison was like "Eh, my gawd. I am going to kick Sky's A**."

The thing is, Sky really doesn't care that Allison's threatening her because she has witnesses to say that Allison DID threaten her. Then, if Allison throws the first punch and they start fighting, Sky can say that she was fighting in self-defense. You know what I say? Good for her!

On a different note, tomorrow is the 9-year anniversary of the tragedy of 9-11. People can't even respect that. In an article on Yahoo!, it read "AP - They will read the names, of course, the names of every victim who died in the Sept. 11 attacks. The bells will ring. And then that moment of unity will give way to division as activists hoist signs and march, some for and some against a planned mosque two blocks from ground zero." Which almost completely sums up my point. Almost. The point that I'm trying to make is that the muslims shouldn't be allowed to build a mosque within a 200-mile radius of Ground Zero. That's like building a tribute to the Nazis on top of the Jewish concentration camps, or burning the American flag. It just isn't done, and on top of that, it's just plain wrong. What happened to the American spirit? What happened to protesting? What happened to the hippies? What happened to questioning the rules and regulations of the government, who, by the way, is being run by one of the worst presidents in history next to Nixon and Andrew Jackson.

What is happening to our society? You wanna know why our economy is so bad and the government can't pay to get up off it's lazy butt and get to work? A(not the only) reason that I will state. Illegal immigrants. They get here, then they take the jobs that belong to Americans. Americans that work hard, people that work to live here. Then the immigrants get put in jail. Then what? They get sent back to their country? Yeah, with the money that WE pay with OUR taxes! What if they stay in jail? They get bread and water. They get clothes on their backs. They get a place to sleep at night, they go to bed knowing that they'll have something to eat the next day. They're even better off than they were BEFORE they got caught! And you know HOW they get all those comforts? It's paid by money. OUR money. Money that we worked hard to earn. This entire nation is being flushed down the drain while our government looks on and drinks tea and pretends to read the bills we're trying to pass.

I'm trying to tell you people, but no one reads this blog. So I guess what I'm saying is wasted work, but I tell you, I will be remembered for generations. I will affect lives. These hands that type these words will affect the lives of millions of people, dead or alive.

The Dawkins Delusion

Not to steal this title idea from Alister McGrath, but I did watch EXPELLED last night all the way through for the first time and I just HAD to say something.

First of all, for people who HAVE seen EXPELLED, scientists of today are finding more and more evidence for Intelligent Design than they are for Evolution, so SUCK THAT, EUGENIE SCOTT!! Eugenie Scott herself admitted that there are no peer-edited articles supporting Intelligent Design. You know what that means? That means that they're only writing articles supporting themselves.

I'm sure all of you reading this article right now are thinking that I'm just a cocky teenager who doesn't know anything about science, but look at the picture up there. Do YOU know what that is? Those are Haekel's Embryos. That picture is in almost every science book ever created. And it's a total fake. These people printing those science books are teaching their kids absolute nonsense. Real embryos actually look nothing alike. Google it. You'll find that this picture is an absolute fake. Eugenie Scott who works for this national education place for science said that they're keeping that in there because it promotes Evolution. Soo...you're lying through your teeth to promote evolution? How does that work?

Second of all, none of these evolutionists know how life began on earth. None. There was this one guy that Ben Stein interviewed who said that life began on the backs of crystals. "How?" "I just told you, life began on the backs of crystals." "But how did that happen?" "I just told you..." and this went on for a while. Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion", even admitted himself that no one knew how and that maybe aliens came and seeded our planet. But he spent his whole life devoted to evolution and being totally against Intelligent Design. And now he's admitting that? I don't think he realized what he was saying. I say that Intelligent Design answers so many of the questions about how we exist and why we exist.

Anyone hear about the Miller-Urey experiment? They were designing an experiment to recreate the elements on pre-life, pre-historic Earth to show that life could jump-start on its own. See a problem with this? They DESGINED this experiment. So pre-life, pre-historic Earth points to a Designer. Don't you see? I may seem like I'm not being fair, but I am totally being fair.

Third: In "The God Delusion," Richard Dawkins writes that the God of the Old Testament is "arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” (Chapter 2, p. 31) The thing is, he doesn't realize that God made a new covenant with His people, and that the God of the New Testament is a loving, caring, gracious God. Did Richard Dawkins even THINK about that? The people of the New Testament and of now are given a second chance for their transgressions, and Richard Dawkins is happy to overlook things that aren't going his way, or are inexplicable to him. If I could ask him one question, I would ask him why he attacks one God. I would ask "Why not Buddha? Or Allah? or any of the Hindu gods? Why not Joseph Smith for crying out loud? How about the people who possibly still believe in Zeus? Hera? Athena? Why just one God? You said that it's very liberating to stop believing, so why not tell everyone who has a belief in any god or gods that they're being idiots? That their faith is blind? Why just the Christian God?" Actually, that would be more than one question, but it's one subject. Do you see my point? Why are all the New Atheists so against the God of Israel, of all the Christians? Why are they so intolerant? They tell us as Christians that we are intolerant of any other religion, that there can be more than one Way. But why aren't they tolerating Christianity? Hmm? Ask yourself that.

Hmm...what else? Oh yes, evolution defined as change over time? Yes. Evolution from a common ancestor? Not so much. There is Darwin's tree of life, and Darwin thought that eventually, all archaeological and scientific findings would lead back. He guessed wrong. What happened was micro-evolution, change within species. The tree of life didn't work out. What evolution is based upon is just assumptions. You take all these assumptions away, and evolution crumbles. Darwin was aware of that. Darwin was also aware that if we really DID evolve from monkeys, then how did we get our minds? How can we possibly trust ourselves to know what's right and wrong? I could come to your house and steal your tv and you could say that was wrong, which proves and objective moral code that we all follow. It's not possible to say truth is relative. Belief is relative. I could say that I believe the sky is green in the middle of the day, so it's true and that wouldn't make it any more true that you saying that you're becoming the Hulk as I write.

There are many things wrong with the way New Atheists believe, also. If they get there way, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry, all that would be taken away in the science, political, and even work world. They're taking a sledgehammer to the very foundation of this country. They're tearing at the fabric of Western Society. Stop them if you value even the Pledge of Allegiance, which says "One Nation Under God," stop and ask them why? Why must they rid America of Christians? Why must they rid America of religion? Why America? Why the home of the free, the land of the brave? The country that many fought and died for. They fought for freedom. Now fight for yours.

Kristen Stewart + Robert Pattinson = Bad Actors = Bad Movie

Seriously? This is so not right. I should've posted this article a long time ago, but I was afraid of what my friends would say. Well, I say that it's time for all the Rob Pattinson/Kristen Stewart Haters to rise up and say "RE-CAST!" I'm serious. This whole Twilight movie thing was a good concept and all, but the casting directors must have been high when they casted Kristen Stewart. I've heard that when Stephenie Meyer saw Pattinson, he was the exact person she had dreamed up. But seriously? The first scene when he meets her in the chemistry room, and the fan blows, he looks like he's about to barf. Not a good first impression. He was just supposed to stiffen up and turn away. Not cover his mouth and look like he was about to scream "I've GOT to go to the nurse!" And Stewart wasn't much better. She stuttered too much. She's got no emotion in her acting. All she does is look like she's hung over permanently. She rarely smiles, and she didn't even look that scared of Edward. They're both supposed to be beautiful people. But all I see is a scruffy hobo playing Edward, and a half-asleep robot playing Bella. I know they're only supposed to be beautiful to each other, but seriously. When the readers read Twilight, they expected someone a little more dignified than Robert Pattinson, whose five o'clock shadow does NOT look "sexy" at all, and Kristen Stewart, who has less personality than that of a floor tile. Seeing Twilight, I was immediately disappointed when Bella turned out to be a moody, unemotional robot who doesn't even care about playing the part of Bella. And Edward really disappointed me. He was NOT supposed to be an old man with a ginormous nose. He was supposed to be young, fresh, and mysterious. Bella was supposed to be shy, blushing, sweet. But no. Ugh, could Summit not get anything better than this? They totally do not deserve the gross amount they are recieving as their paycheck. Google "Kristen Stewart is" and look at the list that drops down. There will be "Kristen Stewart is a bad actress" and the same with Robert Pattinson. There will be "Robert Pattinson is so ugly." Go ahead Twilight lovers, accept the fact that not everyone loves Twilight. Suck it.
