Cough. Cough. Cough.

So, I'm kind of sick. And I'm not feeling 100%.


I'm feeling hella better than what I was feeling, thanks to the meds my mom gave me. And hopefully I'll be better by Monday since it's only Saturday. Maybe I'll be better, maybe not. But I really do not want to miss school.



I don't have a lot to say lately. Lucky me. Usually when I don't have a way to speak my mind - I have a lot to say. But once I have a way to speak - I lose everything. Isn't that how it works? You have so much to say and so much to express, yet when you get the chance all is gone? It happens, right? Or am I the only one?

I have a lot of interests that are completely different from what other people like. I don't seek out things that are different, most of the time. I just see something about it and go with it. (Usually it's History Channel, Discovery Channel, an old article, something an elderly person said, or in a book I read.) I have random obsessions every once in a while that I throw my mind into and try to learn as much about it as possible.

One of my more recent ones was Russian prison tats. My mother and I watched something over it on the History channel. It was very interesting. I got on the computer after the show was over and looked up different tattoos and what they meant. (If someone in Russia has a prison tattoo of a rose, it means they celebrated a teenaged birthday in The Zone (prison))

My mother is one of the most important people in my life. She's influenced me tremendously. She's extremely intelligent. And I don't care what anyone says - My mother is the smartest woman I know. I know a lot of children are made to believe that so they respect their parents. And the phrase, "Mother knows all" is another way to get them to respect their mother. But this is not the case with my mom. She's had a hard life - the kind of life that would be a perfect excuse to be psycho and not have to put up with life at all. She didn't let that happen. She turned her life around and learned as much as she could from what had happened.


Ask her a random question and she'll probably know the answer. And if she doesn't know that answer, she will. (We're a bunch of nerds, can you tell?) My mother has random obsessions, like I do. Her 'main obsession' is cell phones. She is Queen Cell Phone Junky. Whenever the US Cellular store here in town gets a new phones - she's all over that crap. Then she finds the glitch, sells it for more than she paid, and goes back to an old phone. She's had 37 (probably 40 now) cell phones since she started using cell phones. Lost money on only two of them. (I think two.)


I know, I went into a completely different story but there is a point. I'm a lot like my mother - I love to learn! There's a lot of things in this world that I want to learn about, and I know I will. Even once I'm out of college, I can still see myself signing up for classes on pottery or painting or dancing or SOMETHING. While I'm teaching high school, I can see myself doing homework myself. And maybe you see that as wasting money, I see it as spending money to make my life richer.

Random facts are awesome. I love having something random to say at all times. Something that makes people question life and make them think. It's pretty awesome.

Yeah, I'm done for now. I may write something else. I don't know..
