| Now, calculate with me here: I'm 15, yeah? And apparently, that would mean me being a freshman (or sophomore, depending on how you see it) in highschool right now (technically, I AM a freshie because I start highschool in February, but my friends up north started in the fall, so they've been in school for around 4 months already). Highschool means new experiences, new friendships, new rivalries, new crushes, new teachers, and a whooole new outlook on life. But then, if you look at it from a more general view, 15 is close to 16, making it not that big of a difference, but then 15 to 17 is a whole new jump. It's not that big of an age gap, heck, it's only 2 years! But the mind set is completely different. Here in Brazil, most 17 year olds (or 18 year olds) are picking their future because they're trying to get into a decent college. So, to me, 15 to 16 isn't a big deal, but 15 to 17 is a whooole 'nother thing, not to mention 15 to 18, which is completely different because at 18, here, you're drinking AND driving. Now, let's back up a bit. In two weeks, I start highschool. Two weeks feels like a breeze now, but then once school starts, two weeks are going to DRAG on. Why is it that time seems to slow? Time has a funny way of mixing things up, I think, otherwise we'd just live in a monotonous world, don't you think? Imagine if time just went by at the same rate, so when you're anxiously waiting for something exciting, and when you're in school it would drag on! Or if you're spending an amazing summer and you never want it to end, but it goes by too fast, always, because that way you'd always miss a ton of details? I think there's a reason for time being faster and slower, sometimes conveniently, sometimes not so much. Think about it! ahah | | |
| Okay, so I'm sitting here, waiting for my 6th season of ANTM (America's Next Top Model for those of you TV challenged) to finish downloading. I come on xanga, log onto some other sites I like to be on, and well, quite frankly, I'm dissappointed. I remember back when Harry Potter was the coolest thing since sliced bread and everyone wanted to watch it. People had read the books and well, even though there were haters, there was a true and united fan base. So, why is it that the newer Twilight series has to be any different? Twilight is my guilty pleasure. Sure, I don't care too much for the book overall, but if you think about it, there's just SO much I can relate to. That doesn't mean I'm a "HOMGPSYCHOFAN", but it doesn't mean I go around bashing the books on every online site I get the chance. Everything has its limits. Too much of a good thing is bad. So, too much Twilight loving is bad, and too much Twilight hating is bad. Please, if you hate the fans, please consider that maybe one day YOU were like that with a TV show, actor, movie, game, etc., but you didn't have the internet to tell the world about your passion. My little sister LOVES Twilight, but I've told her not to go around talking about it non-stop, especially on the internet. She's 12, and so are her friends. Her friends have the internet. My sister has me to stop her. So what does that mean? The younger the fan, the more obnoxious they can get sometimes. Even older fans, but still. My point is that there's really NO reason to hate on fans or the books, and fans, there's really NO reason to hate the haters. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, am I right? Peace out, homies. | | |
| How long is that, like, over 3 years? I can't believe it's been so long; it sure doesn't feel like it! But looking back and reading my other posts, it does look like it. I can't believe I used to be so, hm, naïve! Haha I'm glad I can see that I've made a change, though, in the way I act, so that's not so bad! haha I suppose none of my old friends come on xanga anymore, or if they do it's probably once in a blue moon, but I figured I'd keep this up for several reasons. One is because there's an amazing person i've been subscribed to for quite a bit, who, when I need inspiration, provides me with it. I'd also like to lose as little of my english as possible here in brasil, so I guess blogging on here will keep me speaking english, haha! For those of you who STILL don't know, June 27th, 2007, I moved to Brasil (: I miss a lot of things, really, I guess you can't be surprised by that. At first, I thought it was a lot better here, people treated me exceptionally well because I was from another country. Theeen, after about, oh, 4 months, people realized that I'm NO different and that I was pretty much a loser :P HAHA! I don't consider myself a loser, actually, I consider myself a lot better than quite a few people (heh, not being conceited, but it's true), because I'm a loooot more mature. Sometimes people say something and I think to myself "whaddaflip?" like, really, some people have no idea what they're talking about. Especially some teachers who talk bad about the US in front of me. I mean, I keep my mouth shut (for the most part), but some of their points have nothing to back it up, so it makes me kinda regret that I have these teachers as teachers. Heh. Anyway, enoough rambling. If you read this, I suppose that you DO still come on here! :D But otherwise, this'll be for personal use heh (: - Ana Lú (: PS: I plan on starting over, so all old journal entries will now be private.
