THE HOLIDAYS - THE TIME FOR CHEER??

Tue, 23 Dec 2014 18:30:45 +0100

Well hey guys! I know I just posted a blog earlier but I just had to vent!!!! My family hosts a christmas party every year on christmas on christmas and every year at around this time. My mom gets a little... well ... crazy. The whole house is going insane and I think everyone blames everything on me!! I hate it. I feel like this whole time just ruins the christmas spirit for everyone in my family. I hate it. It is so annoying. I just want to curl up in a little ball and cry. Which by the way. I already have. Its kind of why I decided to start up the blog again. I needed to get away from the house. My sister is particularly mean now because she slept over a friends house so she is cranky. Actually thats a lie. She is mean all the time now that she is in high school. She acts just like those mean girls that I hated so much in high school. But now, I get to deal with it at home!!! YAY (not). Well that is beside the point anyway. I have to go now. See you later!!

the language barrier

Sun, 12 May 2013 23:52:31 +0100

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY GUYS!!! I had a nice time at my grandma’s house with the rest of my mom’s side of the family. My mom’s family is for the most part, very nice. I mean, my grandma is just about the nicest most selfless person I have ever met and my aunts and uncles are nice too. They have their quirks but, doesn’t everyone? My cousins are great and fun to be around. The only problem is that , my grandma moved to the United States from Greece and despite being here for MANY years she has never spoken English very well and ever since my grandpa died a couple years ago she has been speaking less in English and more in Greek. Now this is not a problem for my mom or my aunts and uncles because they all speak Greek as well, but for my dad and my brother and sister it makes it difficult to be included in the conversation and we end up just talking amongst ourselves and our English speaking cousins. Imagine being at a party where nearly everyone else was talking in a language that you did not understand. To top it all off I think my grandma sometimes forgets that I don’t speak Greek because she talks to me in Greek all the time. It just makes the family events a little bit uncomfortable. On another unrelated topic. In the next few days I will be making adjustments to the website and adding new and exciting pages that I hope you will all love so be on the lookout for that!! Love you guys talk to you soon. BYE

im not a freak! (right?)

Fri, 10 May 2013 22:45:54 +0100

Well it’s Friday and I have to admit. I am very happy that it is Friday. I have kind of gone a little stir crazy staying at home all day doing nothing except have the daily argument with Ryan. I am going to go to mom’s school for at least a couple of days next week so that will be nice. I like going and seeing my mom in action. The thing I just wish I had a friend to call and talk or hang out with. But the bottom line is that I have NO ONE to call. It’s just a little depressing to me. I lie to my parents a little bit about this particular situation solely so they won’t worry. It’s nothing big, I just say that I talked to a certain person from high school or college so they won’t realize how much time I spend a lone and so they won’t think I am some sort of freak. Because I’m not….. Really….. I promise…. I’m not. Anyway , bye bye!!!!

homecoming at last - when the realization hits in.

Fri, 10 May 2013 14:10:10 +0100

Well I am on summer vacation!!! I have been for a week and I think the honeymoon stage has worn off of my mom. She is slowly beginning to realize that I am human and I make mistakes and can be frustrating just like her other children that she sees every day. On one hand I am relieved, the constant need for me to be right by her side was getting on my nerves. However, this does mean that she yells and nags to me like the rest of the family now. Tonight my mom has been in one of those moods where no one can do anything right and that one thing you messed up on earlier in the week is brought back to the surface. Thankfully, I think it passed but not before she managed to make me feel guilty for not making my sister’s bed for her. You can’t make her bed for her? She’s so tired, can’t you see that? (Tired was my mom’s excuse for my sister’s crabbiness tonight)How was I to know that I was supposed to make her bed? I have been making her bed for almost the whole week and she doesn’t even know it. (My dad usually is sleeping when she leaves so he makes it) I didn’t mind making my parents because my dad asked me to do it as a favor to him because he is kind of rushed in the morning like almost everyone is. Anyway….that was me venting. Talk to you soon. BYE

teen pregnancy television show is insane

Thu, 02 May 2013 18:52:37 +0100

Well today is the day. I am moving out of the dorm and going home for the summer. As I am packing all my stuff I am watching Teen Mom and I don’t know whether or not to be depressed or completely amused. It’s just so hilarious to watch all those girls cry about how hard it is to be pregnant and how they wished that they had waited. It’s like… NO DUH YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED. I am not judging. I know that they made a mistake and everyone makes mistakes and they should do the best they can but come on. Sometimes those girls are so delusional about what being a mom is like. They think that it will be all about having a perfect little child who never cries. They also never think about the money that is involved. I also noticed that most of the families live in states like, West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and states in that area. No judgment to those states it’s just what I have noticed. Anyway I am going to stop typing and continue to pack and watch my hilarious/depressing television show. Love you guys!!

Random Good Feelings

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:43:12 +0100

Hello again internet people. I feel that it is much easier to keep up with these everyday blogs when I have wireless internet so I post the blog anytime I want. For some reason I am in a very good mood today. Nothing in particular happened it is just one of those days. I was very productive today also. Don’t you just love those types of days, where you just feel proud of yourself and your accomplishments? I already know that I am pretty much free this weekend other than catching up on taking notes in my books. I can’t wait to go home for the summer. I only have three more weeks until I get to. Then I have like 4 months off from school. Sorry than my post today is a little all over the place but I just can’t seem to concentrate on one thing at a time and I guess my writing kind of reflects that. Really wish that I was good at writing. Actually, I just wish that I was good at something. I feel like I am mediocre at everything and I just want to have one thing that I excel in. I don’t need to be the best, just up there in the top so that I get a little bit of recognition. Oh man, now I am making myself sad so I will stop before I get totally depressed.

big problem

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:41:46 +0100

I know that I already posted a blog today but I have a BIG problem. I did something totally bad and now I am totally paying the price for it. I really want to fix it but I don’t know what to do. Normally if I had a problem I would go to my mom but I just can’t because I would have to confess the bad thing that I did. I was going to write about what I did and tell you guys but I don’t know if I can write it down. It’s too hard to admit and if I write it down it’s like I actually did it and I really don’t want to do that. It would really kill me. I’ll just say that I don’t know whether or not to just let it go or to fight back. It might be bad if I retaliate, I mean, it could just make it worse. I guess if just have to think about it for a night. I will let you know probably tomorrow what I decided. I really hope that I make the right choice but for some reason, I doubt that I will. I will just say that I have rarely been so upset/mad in my life.

tv quality going downhill

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:07:58 +0100

Well hey!! You should be very proud that I am posting another blog today. I have been watching different television shows when I have had a little bit of free time. I seem to be gravitating towards older shows like Friends, Gilmore Girls, Full House, and MacGyver. There is absolutely no show made anytime recently that have come close to being as good as those old shows. It sucks that no one can come up with new ideas. What is it about those old shows that are so good? I think that is how they are not all about the romance and they are not afraid to make jokes. Old shows like the ones I have been watching (with the exception of MacGyver) would make jokes all the time that in today’s shows would never say because they would be afraid to be offensive. All of those old shows were also really good at bringing up really important issues in society. I think that is the key factor in really good television shows. The only show recently that I think is good is Glee. That show also does a good job at bringing up those issues in a lighthearted way. However, even that show has gone downhill since season 4 and the main characters graduated.

Harry Potter - Remembered Forever

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:35:00 +0100

Well I am writing again today and I am hoping to start writing regularly. Well I was on YouTube looking up videos and I came across a video of the Harry Potter cast making speeches at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Now if you were just born yesterday or if you don’t read or watch movies, Harry Potter is a world famous book series that was made into movies and this premiere was the last of the decade of Harry Potter movies. Now I was listening to those speeches and they were so heartwarming that it made me want to cry. I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and movies and I am so sad that the series is over. Every now and then go through a Harry Potter phase in which I watch all the movies over the weekend. I even sometimes read the books again too. I have read all the books over like 6 times and now that I saw that video I really want to watch the movies. Harry Potter is an amazing book series. Ever since the Twilight became a movie series people have been comparing it to Harry Potter. This irritates me to no end!!! Now don’t get me wrong I love the Twilight books and the movies (though less than the books), there is no way to compare the series. I mean, Twilight, when you come down to it, Twilight is a romance series. I mean yes there is underlying themes of friendship and other things, the main idea is a vampire and normal persons romantic adventure. Harry Potter is so much more than a romance. It is about friendship and overcoming hardship and it brings with it the idea that there is more to life than what meets the eye. Twilight doesn’t even come close to touching that. Another thing that made me appreciate the Harry Potter series even more is that there were no romance scandals involved with the main actors and actresses of the movie. It seems like they were really a family and romance was not really an option. You can’t say the same about the Twilight movie series. There were tons of rumors about how Kristen Stewart and Robert Patterson were dating and then how they were cheating on each other. Bottom line, Harry Potter books and movies are amazing and they do not need any bad press to get people to be interested.
