"Do they have calenders in Virginia?"
Today's quote has a bit of explaining to do. There is this kid that came from Virginia to Texas last year, his names' Jake. Okay, he talks about Virginia a lot. When he starts a sentence with, "In Virginia." You know something annoying or just plain weird is coming up. So now that he's been in Texas for about a year or so, he starts a sentence with that and it drives everyone nuts.
He's in my Pre-Ap Science class and he had mentioned earlier - of course, something about Virginia and we're studying the Periodic Table in Science so Mr. Smurr, our teacher, was going to explain the ordering of the periodic table with a calender. Mr. Smurr asks Jake about the calender and Jake doesn't know the answer. So, Mr. Smurr retorts, "Do they have calenders in Virginia?" Everyone laughed and Jake was shocked-red. Haha. Priceless. Probably didn't think it was that funny but it was still funny and thus, quote of the day it was dubbed.
It's the third day and I'm going for a weeks' streak. Third days a charm, right? And boy do I have some stuff to talk about. Since I call this a "Personal Blog" I'm going to talk about funny, interesting, or bothersome points in my day because I have generally interesting days because of my friends and I'm in 8th grade for Pete's sake too. One of the wacky years.
And I hope my blog doesn't go down in fire and flames because I can't come up with a decent topic to blog about. Because I could see that happening. Just last night, I was lying in my bed thinking, "What the heck am I gonna blog about tomorrow?" I might have to result to a long list of completely random topics that are worth writing about and also ones that I get inspiration during the day. I thought of today's topic last night. It's origins are unknown and please, feel free to comment and request or recommend any blog topics. Those will be greatly appreciated.
Here's a point of my day. Adrian and I have the same Pre-Ap Reading class, Pre-Ap is just basically an Honours class; a class above average, advanced, and we have daily Latin bases **self explanatory** and one of the Latin bases today was corps and I thought it was pronounced kor-ps. Like corpse? But corps? I SWEAR I've heard it pronounced that way but Adrian kept saying it was Core. I was like, "I've heard it both ways!" She said, "No, Chelsea, the only way to pronounce it is CORES!" And we had a rather loud argument, kind of across the room about it and I still kept my opinion because I know I've heard it somewhere.
But I just looked it up on dictionary.com and got it to say it and... I'm wrong. Wow. I feel so destroyed. Me writing about Military and stuff and I can't pronounce the word like that correct. Well, I fail.
Being the weird person that I am, I like to have highlights of the day. And by highlight that means the funny event of the day and today is a real good one. I'm going into story mode: *zones out* @_@ (I just love that face)
I approached my math class during passing period and I see a man who I assume was in his mid-forties leaning against the wall next to the door. He has high, steel-grey trousers, shiny brown shoes, and a bright orange, tropical shirt and hanging around his next is a red band and a name tag. A sub. I thought.
Sure enough, he was the sub for math and wow! He had the BRIGHTEST BLUE EYES I've ever seen. But... here's the catch. Do you know what his name was?
You won't believe it. Mr. Smiley. That was clearly written on the board. Mr. Smiley. I laughed and said around to everyone, "Ha? Mr. Smiley? Really?"
I just thought it was a name he made up because I assumed he had this really weird German last name that no one can pronounce. Apparently not. His phone rings, a really shrill, jump-out-of-your-skin kind of ring that nearly made me scream. It was a quiet room! And he walks over to a corner and holds the phone to his ear and says... I'm not joking, "Smiley."
Everyone around me began to snicker a suppressed laugh but I wanted to burst out laughing but I didn't want to cause some weird mishap.
I couldn't believe it. Mr. Smiley? :)
Okay. To the topic before I get really carried away.
There has been a lot of debate over the past couple of years of my life and the debate has been one of the most strangest and merely pathetic topics of all, the common question of: "Would you rather be chased and killed by a Vampire or a Zombie." And teenagers (including me) are very serious about this topic. Like it isn't the most stupidest and hilarious topic that someone our age would gravely discuss.
Me? I would rather be chased and killed by a Vampire. Not one of Stephenie Meyers sparkling-like-frigging-angels Vampire, real-life-real-world Vampire. (Vampire aren't real though...) Why? Here, let me explain:
I know a lot about Zombies not so much about Vampires. I read a book called The Zombie Survival Guide. It is about 200 of pages of serious, no-joking instructional guide on Zombie invasions, different levels of it, and what to do if one did break out. And it's completely serious. I know that Zombies will keep coming after you no matter what you do. You aim for the head for various reasons. They will crawl over their own dead brethren driven by the instinctual hunger for your skin/brains. And they won't stop because they don't have the mental capacity to know better. Basically, they have their brains fried...
But, hey, don't look at me like I'm some sort of freak that actually believes that Zombies are real because they're not, it's all fictional stuff to give kiddies nightmares. The only reason I read the book was to get knowledge about Zombies because I was writing a book about Zombies called Cryptic Dead. It's only Kidpub. Look it up if you please. It was all for knowledge purposes and just for fun. I would just laugh at how serious this guy would be about Zombie invasions. Like he actually believed a Zombie apocalypse would break out at any moment.
Zombies eat slowly, they rip you apart and devour every delicious part of your body and they eat like savages - like someone who hasn't eaten in years! Not to scare you though and I'm only assuming this is what Zombies do... If they were real. And Vampire suck your blood from your neck and then you're pale and promptly die.
Hmm, slow and painful death or semi-slow and semi-painless death? I'm going with Vampires. I would LOVE to hear what you have to say. Comment and don't forget to request anything. You don't have it, I'm not forcing you but it would make my life so much easier...
And thus the argument goes on forth! Who will win? The Zombies? Or the Vampires? The world may never know!

Zombies. Although what you said about how zombies kill, that nearly swayed my opinion, but since you said they were dumb. Well, I could easily outsmart one (I hope). I'm pretty sure they can only walk, not run, because then their limbs would probably fall off (my friends love scaring me by pretending to be a zombie and running really fast). I would probably get a machine gun or a nuclear bomb and drop it on them. Where'd I get such a weapon? I don't know. But where did the zombies come from? OR I'd play dead and just follow their little crowd. Unless they could smell living flesh, I guess I'm screwed. Vampires are super fast, so I don't really want to be chased by one. Then again, they hate garlic, so maybe I could just shove some garlic bread down their throat...hmm, I don't know. It's a toughie.
ReplyDeleteAs for any blog suggestions, maybe you could give tips on stuff sometimes (like the Science thing I mentioned yesterday). I really don't know. It's fun looking forward to what you're going to write about the next day. I always go on this blog as soon as I get home from school :)
Now THAT'S a dedicated comment! I appreciate your support and your opinion on stuff and I'm definitely getting some reactions and stuff out of my blog. Gooodddd. That means its working.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Zombies don't run really fast. They limp but if they DID run fast. O_O Ooh! That would be the end of me. I would probably die from the adrenaline. Lol.
Okay, thanks about the suggestions. :) I'll consider them... Hopefully I'll get some more. :)
YES! CORPS! That word drives me insane, if it's pronounced CORE just SPELL IT LIKE THAT!
ReplyDeleteBut really, I shouldn't go hating on the Latin language, because it's flippin awesome. I'd probably say a Vampire too, in a "You will die no matter what" situation. If you were alone, in a room, with a vampire and a zombie, and you had no weapons and I was given the choice...vampire. :D keep blogging, I personally enjoy relishing in the funny retardedness of everyday life, so this works just GREAT fer me :)
I know! The English language is soo confusing sometimes. But it's the only language I know the best.
ReplyDeleteI am also taking Spanish in school and it's a lot more confusing than English... But the first quiz we got I failed and it was over the English language. Our teacher would say words that had several different meanings in our language like...Time? And the answer was Thyme. It was stuff like that. And when we all failed she was like, "I thought you said you all knew English." Now, I know why English is the hardest language.
Good. I can talk about my self because it's interesting lol.
Yeah, because we have all those random ennounciation things (INvalid and inVALid are spelled the same, but when you put the strees on VAL it becomes a whole different word) and their there and they're, I'm vowing to learn Japanese...just cuz that culture is so awesome to me :)
ReplyDeleteOoh. Japenese. The only thing I know about it that it's backwards... lol.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't respond back asap---my mom had signed me up for UNEXPECTED acoustic guitar lessons even though I'm 13 already so learning an entirely new instrument will probably be next to impossible (most people learn at an early age) ANYWAYS you guys have to learn latin? Lucky...oh, and I'm learning Japanese as well. I agree, the culture is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I started playing the trumpet when I was in 6th grade. I've played it for two years so.
ReplyDeleteNot the language but like prefixes and suffixes. Latin is coolio.
LUCKY. Are you getting lessons or something. If so, TEACH ME! O_O I love anime and I agree the Japanese culture is beautiful.
