BUFFERING = THE WORST

     One of my biggest pet peeves is buffering. It is so unnecessary and always happens at the most inconvenient times. I hate it. For instance when I am on the computer or my phone and I am listening to a song on YouTube and then all of a sudden it freezes and the evil highlighted circle pops up and gives you grief. It has happened during in class presentations when I have shown a video and it was the best part of the whole presentation! Guess what? I had to stop it and then re-start the whole video because there was no other solution. How inconvenient!
     Another time my music was playing and then right as my favourite part was coming up it stopped and it was rather annoying because I couldn't get it to play without skipping! Skipping is almost worse than buffering because you only hear tid bits at a time and they sound terrible. There was a time when I was driving with the windows down and singing along to my C.D. and out of the blue it stopped and started to skip. The worst part was I was stopped at a stop light and I was still singing as it skipped...... everyone was looking and it was quite embarrassing..... ooopps :S
     I'm sure that other agree when I say buffering is one of the most terrible things that happens on a daily basis and if there was a way to stop it that we would.
This is the expression my face ttakes on when buffering occurs.......Amen

Where did V-Day even come from anyway?

     Well Valentine's Day was like it has been for the last three years.... me my best friend and the movies. Oh and last year we went to Build-A-Bear hahahaha. This year I almost did nothing for Valentine's Day but then last minute my best friend and I went to see Safe House and we're both in love with Ryan Reynolds (WHO ISN'T?!) so it was perfect.
     I think the idea of Valentine's Day is cute but it was originally to remember St. Valentine who was executed on February 14th way back in the day. He was sent to jail for his religion and the jail guard got him to teach his blind daughter because he was a very intellectual being and could help her. One day when they were together she claimed that she could see light and then that she saw and was no longer blind. The day that Valentine was sentenced to to die came shortly after that and he gave Julia a letter and signed it as "De tu Valentino" - from your Valentine and this is where the whole Valentine's Day card thing came from and that it was an act of affection.
     what i find funny is that the whole thing means something totally different now. The whole day has been modernised so that couples buy eachother expensive lavish gifts and go out for nice dinners and singles like me hangout with their friends. I dont mind it at all I just find it funny how a day that marked someone great's death can be turned into a day of love and expensive gifts and chocolate.


     I'm not complaining though he he he.

Today is Not my Day

     day I am particularly bored and unenthusiastic about doing anything active, and yes I'm counting sitting in a chair inside a classroom as being active. I don’t really understand why I am so dead today but you know sometimes you just have those days when you are TOTALLY OUT OF IT. I am most definitely totally out of it. I don’t understand it either because I got a good sleep last night, a whole nine hours! Most nights I kill to just get six! Anything less than six hours and I am not a real person for the next two days at least. It’s like I turn into a Zombie and my mind is on autopilot for the whole day.

     Then there is work……………………………… eek. I have to be alive for work so all the energy I have goes into being an amazing swimming instructor and coach. Sometimes when I’m guarding I want to fall asleep (but I don’t). Plus today is a Wednesday, the middle of the school week. Half of me thinks the week just started two days ago dreading that there’s still two more to go and the other half is having a party because there are only two more days left!
     I’m also not very focused today, my brain is like mush and on sleep mode. Every time  I try and focus I get into an interesting conversation with one of my friends. For instance on my spare this morning I was supposed to finish my English paragraph due tomorrow and goodness I’m lucky if I’m going to get it done in time because lo and behold I work tonight. Big surprise there. But that’s life right? I am happy with it I’m just super tired and today is going by at the pace of molasses being poured out a carton- nice and leisurely.



Young Wild and Free... at 27 Years old.

     Jeeze I DO NOT want to think about how old I am going to be in ten years! Basically twenty-eight years old! I am going to be ancient. My goodness, well at least I’ll be successful. I plan to have my life going quite well by the time I’m twenty-seven. I’ll be done school and hopefully I will be working for a corporation of some sort as a Journalist. I will already have been to many places around the world and will be continuing travelling for my job and most likely not in a relationship, just because I will never be home. I’ll settle down later, and maybe have kids? Being a teenager I don’t really think about my wedding or having a family and children. I see all of that as sort of a thing that could happen in my life but I don’t think it will for a while.
     I’ll still have long blonde hair and it will be all natural still (I have vowed to never dye my hair). I will hopefully be tanned for the better part of the year from all of my travels. I want to make it big, and what I mean by that is having a successful career and making people want me to work for them. I already know that I will be very passionate about my career and this will definitely help my status as a Journalist by being good at what I do. I think I’ll be visiting Greece as often as possible because it’s beautiful. I will still be really close with my family and visit them as much as I can and hopefully I’ll be close with my sisters as well. J   ]
