Schmen

That's right, schmen. The type of person that you're not sure whether they're a boy or a girl. One of these is in the middle school show choir, and knows Maggie, who had a party last night (where there were a bunch of whiny 8th graders. Like, half of them were vegetarians, and they were annoying. All four of them get their own paragraph). The schman's name was Nathan or something, but I don't really care; his name is Schman.

There were actually multiple people who didn't know if Schman was a boy or girl. His facial featues and hair looked like that of a female, but he had a sweatshirt (yes, I know a lot of girls wear hoodies, but this one looked like a guy's one) and one of those thick watches made of gold junk that guys wear. It was freaky. First, me and Kathleen were talking about it, and when I asked Andrea, she said Schman was a girl. However, Kathleen and I concluded he was a boy. Later, when Devon came, she asked me Schman's gender. I still wasn't completely sure, so I told her boy. I then asked Sarah, and she confirmed my thoughts: Schman is a boy.

There was a girl in purple, referred to as Gip, and Megan. I only call Megan Megan because she wasn't that interesting. Gip, on the other hand, was giving us freshmen strange looks all night. I swore to myself if she did it again I was going to scream at her. She needs to respect the hierarchy of the school system and not openly glare at 9th graders. Stupid 8th grader.

Now for Kyle. He's whiny. He's an attention-craver. Quotes from Kyle: "I'm part British." Me- don't care. "I'm claustrophobic, seriously!" Me- still don't care. "I have some eating disorder." Me- cry me a river, so do a lot of other people. "I'm a vegetarian." Me- maybe if you ate some meat, you wouldn't have the eating disorder. Who knows?

Oh, Beau was there too. Beau's cool though, because he's very flamboyant with his feelings. And we listened to a lot of Rent music, and Beau knew every song. It was scary.

"Take that bow off your dress...

... put it on your boob."

- Heather, talking about this bow thing that came on the Strings girls' dresses.

Amazing what a sophomore girl will say in a crowded Strings room to another sophomore girl before a concert.

Time for the Holidays- Bring On the Arguments

Ever noticed how super Left wing politicians and others of their kind always fret about messages being sent about this time of year? Because, "Merry Christmas" would bring about the subliminal message that the US was a dominantly-Christian country. And we can't have any of that, oh no. Instead, we're bombarded with "Happy Holidays," and soon that might even be gone, because the word holiday most likely derived from the words 'holy' and 'day,' and since being holy derives to religion (most likely the Christian faith), we don't want more minor religions in the US starting to think we're going to leave them out. Oh, heavens, no. We cannot have that. Eventually, we'll be forced to print "Merry Festive Period" on our advertisements. Goody, goody.

Even Mrs. Noel, my English teacher, thought it was dumb (well, it was implied, anyway). She was saying something about Merry Christmas, and then quickly corrected herself with Happy Holidays.

Why am I talking about this? Search me. Maybe it was because we've been studying Islam in History class lately. And, branching from one of our discussions, Ms. Templeton told us that the Muslims believed that there was only god, and that the Muslims called him by the named Allah. Christians, Jews, etc., on the other hand, call that single god by different names. (Or something alone those lines, sorry if I've missed a couple of details.)

Anyway, we started a small discussion on whether or not Allah and a student's god (most likely Christian or one of its branches) were the same. Most of them said no. Well, all of them said no. All 4 or 5 of 'em. But I was thinking something different. Before I start out on anything, I don't think anything or anyone is up in the sky evaluating my every move and deciding where I go when I die. I think it's non-existant. However, I respect other people's views about the creation of the world, yadda yadda, as long as they don't try to force it onto me. Then I get mad, and I start trying to make rebuttals. Note that verb "try" is used, as in I might not have a strong argument and the person I'm arguing against will just beat me. The defeat wouldn't do anything to me except just annoying me more, because the person I lost to would most likely continue stuffing religion down my throat.

Now, my thoughts on our discussion. The other students seemed to look over that maybe there was only one god person, or, better yet (in my views), nature, had all the ancient civilisations confused with thunderstorms, earthquakes, etc., so they needed something to explain these occurences. So, certain people, who would later most likely be called "prophets" or something else, came up with explanations that could work. I mean, there wasn't a whole lot of technology back in 5,000 B.C.*, so there wasn't anybody or anything to block their explanations. Ergo, we have religion, the worship of one omnipowerful being that dictated the creation of the world, people, and gave a strict set of laws and rules to the human race to follow. There were, of course, other things for the gods to do, but I don't feel like finding every job they had.

Of course, there were different "prophets" who had different views, or they just thought of something new entirely. So, the origin of new religions. Ultimately, there is one almighty force that so many views and religions were derived from. And then, the answer to Ms. Templeton's question would be: Yes, Allah and God are the same. So, there.

*- Noting back to my first point of the Merry Christmas issue. B.C. generally stands for "Before Christ." And Christ is for Christians. And the world isn't made just of Christians. So it's changing. Maybe not now, but it will.

Change

I'm probably going to change the URL to universalgenius.blogspot.com. The suggestion made by Anonymous (i.e., my mom) was too long, and I found it a tad too egotistical. Though, stating I'm an universal genius would be the same thing, but I like it. So, there.

I'll be changing it tomorrow, so everyone be prepared to change it. Otherwise, you'd just get a page that says the site doesn't exist.

EDIT: No, scratch that. I'm changing it to defenestrate.blogpsot.com. Don't know what 'defenestrate' means? Find a dictionary.

EDIT2: Apparently, both defenestrate- and defenestrated.blogspot.com have been taken. The former was posted in once, and it's quite annoying. I could use defenestrator, like the word terminate (which itself has terminator). Yeah, I like the sound of that. It would mean "one who throws things out of windows." Lovely. I better go check to see if it hasn't already been taken.

EDIT3: But, of course, my new idea is taken. I'm quite frustrated right now.

EDIT4: You know what? Screw it- I'm not changing my URL.

Name?

Every now and then, there comes a time on a message board/forum when some random person signs up and takes it upon themselves to posts a billion times in two minutes to make themselves known. My advice- there are so many other ways to be cool. Try making longer, more intelligible posts. That earns my respect (but it's not like you care about me, right?).

Sadly, this is what happened on the BK Forums, but doubly so. First, it was Slyph. Male, from Michigan. He's annoyed by his state and how "isolated" it is. *scoff* He's so stupid, for there are so many other places in the world that are more isolated than Michigan. For one thing- if there's a video game in Japan named after the state, it's not isolated. Plus, he apparently has no English grammatical skills (which is a probably among many of his kind). He's also quick to anger, and for some reason snapped at me in the Harry Potter Fanclub. So I snapped back. Beat the loser down. Oh, don't mess with teh Patrick. *dance*

Our second member is a girl named I Love Lyude (Lyude being the character that the girls fawn over. Every game has one, seriously.). She, of course, loves Lyude. But she also enjoys to post spontaneously as well. I don't know why, but she had to post in one topic in every category of the forums. As I've stated, I don't know why she did so, she just did.

Also, I'm thinking about changing the URL of my blog. Being me, I'm completely blanking on what I should replace it with. The obvious choice would be milk.blogspot.com, but that's too obvious, and it's most likely already taken. So, if you have any suggestions, please tell me. 'Til then, I'll be thinking as well.

Oh, Madonna

Madonna is so clever with her latest higt song, "Hung Up." In the song, there's this one line, which I have bolded for you:

I can't keep on waiting for you

I know that you're still hesitating

Don't cry for me

'cause I'll find my way

you'll wake up one day

but it'll be too late

Now, all you're thinking is that there's no point to this post, and I'm just identifying a certain line in a song. But, you're, of course, wrong. Here's an excerpt from another of Madonna's songs and from the film Evita:

Don't cry for me Argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance

See? You would never have known of that wonderful connection between two of the same artisit's songs without moi. I'm too good for you.

Oh, and in other news, we have a snow day. What? You didn't hear? Then let me say it louder:

WE HAVE A FREAKIN' SNOW DAY!

Thanks, that's all for now.

EDIT: For some strange reason, Blogger doesn't feel like putting spaces in between the lines that there should be spaces, so don't blame me for the eyesore of a post being stuck together.

ZOMG

Which, for you losers who don't know, stands for: Z (uh, I never actually knew what the 'Z' stood for) Oh My God. And I know you want to know why it's the title of this post.

I just found out that Belus (member of the BKForums: http://batenkaitos.namco.com/forums/) commented on one of my posts. I never knew anyone from that board had read my blog before. I don't know if she's still reading it (because in her post she stated she was bored), but it's exciting all the same.
