AFD

April Fools Day is tomorrow. I like to read about pranks, and I like to watch people on TV play pranks, but I don't like pranks in real life. Or, I don't like people to fool me and I don't like it when people play serious pranks on people.

I hate being tricked. It's just something I can't stand. If someone fools me, I can could be mad at them for a long time, no matter who they are. On April Fools Day, I end up being extra weary of everyone which isn't fun at all for me. 

When jokes become too serious and end up hurting someone, in my opinion, the joke is no longer funny. I don't mind if people play pranks on people that are silly pranks, but when things become serious, it's not fun. I just don't see how making someone feel bad is entertaining.

I don't want to sound like a killer of joy, and I do, in general, like pranks, just as long as they're not hurtful and not directed at me. Anyway, have fun tomorrow and play pranks on as many people as you like, as long as they're not cruel! :D

SD and Friends

Yesterday was Sports Day and it was quite fun. The best part about it though, was that my team won! It was kind of weird though, because throughout the day I kept hearing that my team was in last place even though it seemed like we were winning most things. So, although I wasn't expecting to win, I wasn't all that surprised.

After school, our friends came over to our house. (I'm using 'our' because they're my siblings and my friends.) Four of those friends slept over and it was a lot of fun. But, I didn't get as much sleep as I like to get on the weekends because I slept late and woke up early. So, I'm pretty tired now.

Tomorrow, I don't think I'll have much free time, so, I might not be able to come online and write anything. I just thought I would say that so if I don't blog, I would have at least said it before hand. If I do blog tomorrow, I think I'll talk April Fools Day!

Goodnight!

Right, so I don't know what to write about today.

Tomorrow's Sports Day, and I can't tell you how much I want my team to win. My team has NEVER won, and thought this probably won't be my last Sport's Day, I really want to win this year. Most of my friends are in my team, and I'm really excited.

The only thing is I won't be actually playing any sports because lately I've been getting tired easily. Not to mention, I hate losing, so I'm only going to play the silly games.

I'll mention how it goes tomorrow! Byeee! 

Appearances

I just watched a video that said that Israel created a new law that basically doesn't allow girls who are extremely skinny to become models. I don't want to talk about this law in general - though I must say that I really admire it - but I'd like to talk about how the media is always portraying that people with perfect bodies are more admirable.

The fact that you need to be skinny to be a model is a known fact. Also, you find that most characters in movies and shows are skinny. That's why I like Youtube because all the people there are real. Another show I like for this reason is Skins. I didn't notice until after I started to rewatch it, but none of the girls are extremely skinny - except Cassie and she's portrayed as sick.

But again, I don't want to go into that. I want to talk about why the majority of people on TV are skinny. Many TV shows are striving to be as realistic as possible because that way people can relate to them, but in real life, people aren't all models. I'm not saying that everyone is fat either, but the average person is, well, average. So, there should be more 'average' people in TV shows and movies.

We are all taught - whether directly or indirectly - that being skinny is better than being fat. But why? Some people argue that it's a health thing: being overweight equals being unhealthy. But I recently read an article that said that being skinny doesn't necessary mean that a person is healthy and vice versa. What makes a person healthy is how much they exercise and how carefully they eat. You can eat horribly and never exercise and still be skinny, but that doesn't mean you're healthy.

Of course, the main reason we are taught that being skinny is better is that it's more attractive. But why is it? I mean, there are many people who aren't necessarily models and yet are pretty. Why has society decided that the skinnier you are, the more attractive you are. Besides the fact that personality should count more than appearances, being skinny doesn't mean you're pretty. In fact, these models who are extremely skinny actually look sickly and look odd to me.

I don't want to hate on skinny models or anything like that. I think all people are beautiful as long as their personalities are beautiful. I just don't see the need for us to all focus on appearances and how we should all look a certain way. The beauty of humanity is that every human is different. Why would we want to change that to make us all look the same? I just don't get it. 

Thrilling Life

Yeah, I've been horrible at writing stuff, but I've just been kind of sick and sometimes I'm dizzy, and I really don't feel like blogging. So, though I really want to blog ever day, I definitely don't want it to become something I hate. If I miss a few days, it's not the end of the world, but at least I'll be refreshed when I come back.

Also, did I blog yesterday? I doubt it.

My brother and I have started to become interested in drawing. We've been watching drawing videos on Youtube (because, honestly, where else do people learn things?) and it's actually really fun. The only problem is that I don't have enough time to do it all the time. But in my free time, I will try to draw.

Today was picture day. I personally don't like to be in pictures, so picture day is definitely not one of my favourite days. Quite a bit of class time is wasted though because a lot of the time teachers have to go and be in pictures.

That's pretty much all that's happening with me. I have SUCH an thrilling life, don't I?

Night!

So, the Hunger Games movie came out today. I have no clue when I'll be able to watch it, but all I know is that I'll be so busy tomorrow that it's clouding everything. Like, I can't even think of Sunday because tomorrow is blocking it.

Does that make sense? It shouldn't. My brain feels fried right now. Like it was put on a barbecue. See, how lame that is? You know what's lamer? I couldn't remember how to spell barbecue.

In case you couldn't tell, I'm really really tired. I gotta go sleep now so that I can function tomorrow. Goodnight.   

Thoughts in Five Minutes

I've got quite a bit of work to do this weekend. I tried my best to do as much as I could today because I normally don't have a lot of time on the weekend, and I'm happy with what I've done, even though I feel like I could have done more.

It's kind of late, and I'm really tired. I won't even bother to reread this, so sorry if it's crap. I always swear more after watching Skins. Don't know why I shared that, but I did.

I feel bad because I'll have to wake up Sasha now so that she can come to my room. If we leave her here in the family room, then in the morning she'll probably open the fridge or something and eat to her heart's desire.

Anyway, I'll go now. Hope you liked the thoughts that popped into my head in the five minutes that I've written this. I'm trying to work on ways to make this better, but I won't be able to carry them out until I don't have as much work! BYE
