Honesty Shmonesty

The amazing Molly from Red Rawlin's was kind enough to bestow this fabulous award upon me!

I'm not going to lie, I pride myself on being an honest person, so this award made my day!!!

As part of the deal I now have to tell you

10 True Things About Myself That You May Not Know

Yes I'm going to be VERY honest...so be prepared.

1. For YEARS, I sat in school and thought:

"Wow I will NEVER be a teacher, I could NOT do that!!!!"

And yet, I'd always find myself taking the class I was in and imagining myself as the teacher of it and how things would go. It wasn't until my freshman year that it finally dawned on me...Teaching is your destiny Natskee!!!

2. I don't hate the dentist.

I LOATHE the dentist!!!

I come home every time crying my eyes out!!

3. If I weren't me, I don't think I'd be friends with me.

4. I really love this picture because of the adoring look on his face....

*sighs dreamily*

Even if he was told to do that.....

5. My hatred and disdain for cheerleaders stems from the bitterness I have for not making the cheer team my freshman year. I tried out, didn't make it and have been hatin' on those peppy, skirt wearin' skanks ever since!!!!

(Disclaimer: I dislike the role of cheerleaders, not the people themselves. Some of my favorite people in the entire world also happen to be cheerleaders.)

6. Sometimes I turn lights on and off with my tongue.

Who cares about germs???

7. I am a couple watcher.

I LOVE watching a guy and girl that are into each other!!!

(As long as they're not being nasty.)

But I don't really like watching strangers....that's gross.

But my friends...LOVE it!!!

Don't ask me why!!

8. I've always wanted to play the role of a villian in a show, and it looks like I just might get my wish!!! Westwood's musical for this year is Les Miserables, and I am going to audition for the rold of Madame Thenardier!!! She and her husband are terrible people! They steal and rip people off constantly! Madame is crude, obnoxious, and larger than life. I think she'd be SOOO fun to play!!!

9. I once slept with a package of Oreos under my pillow.

10. 90% of the time, I don't put covers on toilets. (See #6)

Well this was fun!

I'm not in the mood to pass it on, but if you want to do the tag, feel free!

Love you all!!

High School Horrors: Part Four

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I reallywant to rename this segment:

"High School Whores"

and talk about all the obnoxious girls that I deal with on a daily basis.

That would however, cause lots of drama and speculation and make me seem really really mean and insensitive.

Which, I can be, but that's besides the point at the moment.

Right now, I'm just going to be as real and honest as I can without giving too much away and/or hurting anyones feelings.

I think it sufficeth to say that sometimes, teenage girls are complete and total BRATS!!!!

(And trust me, I'm not excluding myself from this generalization.)

They are selfish, gossipy, prideful, stuck up, nosey, immature, backstabbers and everything else horrible you can think of!!!!

Somedays, I just can't handle it anymore!

The estrogen is just too much!!!!!

It is for that very reason that this story goes as follows:

The other day I was asking Tyler and Jacob who they would take with them on a deserted island if they could only bring four people. After they answered, they asked me. My list was as follows:

1. Tyler

2. Rusty

3. Shirt Boy

4. Jacob

Now I'm not going to act like I'm one of those girls whose always gotten along better with boys than girks and has way more guy friends than girlfriends.

Cause I'm not.

I have a few close gentleman friends who are also some of my favorite people in the whole entire world.

I can talk to them about everything and they keep me sane when I just can't handle females anymore.

But I've got TONS of girls who are like my sisters!!!!!

And I always love em'

No Matter What.

Obamafied

As most of you know, President Obama spoke to all of the school aged kids in America today.

The idea sent the whole country into a ruckus.

"He's got a hidden agenda!"

"He's gonna try and turn our kids into Democrats!"

"His soul is so unclean that pure water will melt him!"

Bull Crap.

*Note*

I am not a fan of Obama, however, he is my president and I will show him the respect he deserves.

Okay, back to the speech.

Want to know what his real purpose was?

His "hidden agenda?"

It was to motivate.

To get the future of America motivated about education.

That's it.

He spoke to us about setting goals and not making excuses.
He told us that education is the only way that we will succeed in life.

DUH!!!

I already knew all that stuff!

So, did I need to listen?

No.

But was it nice to know that my president cares about my future and the future of my peers???

YES!!!!
