Inferiority

Many of my posts have been funny, random things. This one is not.
Grades really matter to me. I know that they aren't the most important thing, but to me, they are.Why? Because school is pretty much the only thing I'm great at. Yes, they are things I like to do, but I'm not as talented at theme as my friends are.

Humor: I love a witty response, sarcastic remarks and just plain clowning around. However, I'm not funny. I'm just not.

Friendship: I have a lot of friends, but they aren't as close as I'd like them to be. Hardly any of them chose me to be a partner with; I always ask them. And there are plenty of things they do that I'm just not invited to.

Be friendly: I am a friendly person, but making friends or talking to complete strangers can be hard for me. I'm a naturally talkative person, but hardly anyone sees that. Throw me in with a couple of strangers and I'm not very social.

Sports: I have played many sports and loved them all. Field hockey is my main one now, but I'm not as good as I wan to be. I can't hit the ball hard and my passing/aggressiveness stinks. Plus, I have never scored.

Art: I like to draw, paint, and doodle, but they aren't that cool looking. I have a lot of artistic friends, but my drawings stink.

Reading: I'm a great reader, and a fast one, but I haven't read challenging books in a while, making me way below my standards.

Beauty: I'm not very pretty. My hair is frizzy, my face is zitty and I'm not thin or have a great body.

Music: I love to sing, but I've never been told I'm great by a person my age who wasn't a friend. I play viola, but I still struggle with intonation and just musicality. I used to play piano, and I'm trying to get back into plain it again, this time accompanying songs. But I'm not as good as my brother, who can compose his own songs and play pop songs as well.

As you can see, I'm just a second rate person. That's one of the reasons that I'm so competitive and I hate to lose; it just makes me feel worse. I'm not depressed or want to hurt myself or anything, I'm just having self-esteem issues right now. But sharing helps, so if you think this is a stupid post then no quiero escucharte, eres un pendejo.

Hunger Games

I saw the Hunger Games last Saturday with 6 of my friends. We bought the bucket of popcorn that said Hunger Games, the kind you get free refills. Even before the movie started, we went and got a refill. Popcorn goes by fast with 6 teenage girls! I do have a few comments, though. The movie was good overall.

#1. Camera work. The camera was constantly shaking, even during the non-action shots. That made it difficult to focus on the movie. Whenever the was an action shot, such as the bloodbath, the fight Katniss had with Clove or Peeta and Cato's wrestle, the camera would just flash shots of the action. It was really hard to tell what was going on. Peeta and Cato (or Josh and Alexander, to go buy their real names) were both blond and had similar builds. With the way the action was shot, it was hard to see who was who. I guess it was supposed to be artistic, but it was just confusing.

#2. Haymitch. Oh my gosh, Haymitch was perfect. Not too drunk, and still had that sarcastic flair. Not to mention his hair! Woody Harrelson was just the right choice.

#3. Rue. Now, she was a character I wanted to see. I fully expected to cry during her death, but I didn't. Not because it wasn't emotional, but because of the way that Amandla Stenberg portrayed her. Rue didn't seem like someone to protect; she seemed really confident. That was something I didn't like.

#4. Prim. Why, oh why, were her only lines were basically "NO! NO! NO!?" It seemed too dramatic.

#5. Effie. I absolutely love Effie, but they never actually said her name during the movie. It was just implied that you knew who she was.

#6. Hair and makeup. I want to hug whoever was in charge of this department. They did a great job with all the Capital people, making them just as I imagined. The time this must have taken is incredible. Kudos to them!

#7. Cinna. I loved Cinna. He was exactly as I imagined, even down to the gold eyeliner. Little details like that make me love or hate a movie.

I was going to have 12 comments, one for each of the 12 districts, but I my finger are starting to hurt and I want to go watch Psych, so I'll stop.

Remember, may the odds be ever in your favor!

Printer Paper Problems

One of the biggest annoyances I have in my life is the fact that lined paper and printed paper are not the same size. So when you go to staple an extra sheet to your math test, you have to carefully line them up so the holes match. You can't just do the tap thing so the bottoms are even. No, you have to methodically match up the holes and carefully staple the sheets together. I mean, why aren't they the same size? Life would be much easier if they were. Do the lined and printer paper companies have a rivalry on which size is better or something?

Someday I'll Be 6'3 (not really, i'm only 5'2)

Here's a video of my friend Michelle singing an original song, called "(I'm Short and I) Can't Help It". She has no idea I'm posting this, so hopefully she won't get mad! ;) The guitar sounds a little weird, but that's just the way the microphone was.
The title of my blog makes sense once you watch it.

Weird words

Have you ever told someone they had a nice smile? How about that they had a pretty voice? Those are 2 compliments that people love to hear. But what you don't hear anyone ever saying is that they have a mean smile or an ugly voice. Our expression are really weird! Can anyone think of any others? Post them if you do.

OMG

Now, I have I friends who are Muslim, Hindi, Jewish, Buddhist and atheist. Hopefully I spelled those right. America has freedom of religion, and that is a great thing. However, people should respect other's religions and not do things to offend them. Like, for instance, saying oh my God.. It's disrespectful of Christianity. If someone said o my Allah, you can bet there would be some sort of big political stink about it. But why not when people say oh my God?
