Random Things I Find Annoying

Have you ever been living your life like a normal human being and noticed something annoying? Like something small that makes you say, "Well that's annoying," and then promptly forget about it? This happens to me all the time, to the point where I've started writing them down. So, here is a compiled list of random stuff I find annoying that maybe you can relate to.

• Accidentally using hand lotion as soap. 
• Being halfway through showering and realizing you ran out of conditioner. 
• Going to bed with a perfectly made bed, and waking up with the sheets all over your floor. 
• Painting your nails perfectly just to smudge them trying to see if they're dry. 
  
• Missing one spot when shaving. 
• Putting down your phone just to forget where you put it. 
• Going to drink a glass of milk and there's none left.
• Or worse, there's only two drops of milk left. 
  
• Getting sprayed by the sink.
• Accidentally putting in your school locker combination in your gym lock when you're in a rush. Cause of course they're not the same combination. That would be too easy!
• Forgetting to turn off your lights when you leave the house. 
• When you think it's Friday, and then you realize it's Thursday. 
  
• When you have a song stuck in your head, except you don't know what it is. 
• When your phone goes from 80% to 20% in all of two seconds. 
• When your phone dies when it has 30% battery left. 
• When what you want to wear isn't clean.
• When you use the wrong where. 
• Or right.
• Or too.
• When you go to correct someone's grammar and you're the one who's wrong.
• When you can't remember how to spell receive. 
• Ninja-ing. AKA when someone reads your text but doesn't respond. I'm so guilty of this. 
  
• When your internet crashes and you have homework to do.
  
• And then you tell your teacher that your internet crashed, and they're all like "That's no excuse."
• And just homework in general. 
• Cute DIY ideas gone horribly wrong. 
  

I hope you can relate to some of these annoying things. It's really satisfying when someone else agrees with something you think is annoying.

My Thoughts on Imaginary Numbers

Before you get all freaked out, I'm not going to be teaching you math. I'll just be ranting about it. 

Why do imaginary numbers aka i exist? I am currently in Algebra II and I don't understand the point of them. Like, if you have the square root of a negative number, it doesn't have a solution. I get that. It's imaginary. It doesn't exist. So then what's the point of continuing to solve it? THE ANSWER DOESN'T EXIST. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF SOLVING AND GETTING SOME IMAGINARY SOLUTION? IT DOESN'T EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gah!!!!!!

What. Is. The. Point. Of. i. It's imaginary. It doesn't exist. Is there some real-world application to imaginary numbers or are they just annoying things we have to deal with? Cause we haven't used them in a real-world application kind of way. And when I ask my teacher, he just says they're important in calculus. Okay, then what is that calculus used for? I don't understand how imaginary numbers can have a real purpose in the world when they don't exist. They. Aren't. Real. I just don't get it. 

It's not that I don't get how to solve imaginary solutions, it's just that I don't get why i exists in the first place. And if there is some reason they do exist, then I just haven't learned it yet. But for now, math sucks. 

Think of the kittens, think of the kittens.

I feel better now.

Also, quick side note: I hate logs. 

Hello..........

It's been a while. Like a very long time. Like five months long time. *hides in corner*

Now, I'm not going to lie and use the "I've been really busy" excuse. I feel like everyone and their mother has used that excuse. Most of the time, they're lying. Truth is, I kinda forgot................

At first, I was busy, and then I got lazy, and then I just forgot. But I'm back! So that's what really matters. I plan on posting once a week? Maybe twice? Yeah right. 

I'm going to try to fix all of the images that won't show up. I'm really sorry about that but I will fix it. Eventually. :)

Gah, it's really raining right now. Good thing I have a delayed opening tomorrow for teacher in-service! I am so happy I can sleep for an extra two hours.

This is how I feel right now. Super tired. I want to go to bed.

Random thought: So I am in keyboarding this semester because my mom wanted me to take the class. Now, I took a keyboarding class in middle school so I can type really well. Long story short I'm using the exact same program in this class that I did in middle school, so the class is boring. REALLY boring. But, because I can already type, the class is basically a study hall that I get credit for. So, if you can type and need a study hall, think about possibly taking keyboarding. And if you can't type, take keyboarding. It's a really important skill to have.

You want to be this guy. Except don't spray on shoes unless you know how to get them off. 

Also, this is the best computer I've ever seen. 

Alright, that's it for this post cause I want to got to bed. So goodnight moon and house and desk and computer. And, of course, you. Even if you're not going to bed right now.

Random Facts of Uselessness #10

I am really, really, really bad a consistent posts. Like I suck. I couldn't write consistently if my life depended on it.

Anyway...........

• Scientists hypothesize that for every inch a person is taller than 5 feet, they lose 1.3 years of their life. SEE THERE ARE PERKS TO BEING A LITTLE TIKE!
• In Utah, it is illegal to swear in front of a dead person. I get being respectful to the dead, but how is this enforced?
• What is called a "French kiss" in the English speaking world is called an "English kiss" in France. If it's not French, and it's not English, than what is it? Disgusting!
• Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. What? Why? Heh?
• The average talker sprays about 300 microscopic saliva droplets per minute, anout 2.5 droplets per word. That is disgusting. Really disgusting. THIS IS HOW EBOLA SPREADS PEOPLE! (jk jk)

For some reason my signature picture won't come up on my computer so if it doesn't for you, I'm really sorry. I'm trying to fix it. Just bear with me. I can't remember how to fix the code.

It's Back to School Time!

I'M SORRY IT'S BEEN LIKE FOREVER AND EVER SINCE MY LAST POST BUT I'VE JUST BEEN SO BUSY! And lazy. And busy. But mostly lazy.

You know what angers me about going back to school? I've known the classes I'm in since mid-July and I've known which teachers I have since the beginning of August. Yet, my teachers decided not to give me their supply list till the first the day of school. >:(

Speaking of school, I start this week. And I'm actually really nervous for freshman year. High school here I come!

No but seriously. I'm usually always ready to go back to school. My schedule is normally memorized 15 minutes after I get it, and I've normally mapped out all my classes by the beginning of August. By the middle of August, my locker is organized and decorated.

This year? I can't tell you what my locker is, yet alone where it is.

It's true that since I'm a freshman I have no idea where anything is and it's not fair to expect me to know where my locker is. Except I went to this thingy where a senior showed me around to all my classes and had me open my locker. I could open it, thank god, but two seconds after I left it, I forgot where it was. Good job me!

I asked some of my high school friends where my locker is. They told me I'm in one of the senior hallways. Greaaaaaaaaat. (Total sarcasm there for those who didn't realize that.) It's also nowhere near any of my classes. Which I also don't know where they are either. This year is going to be great! suck.

My first day of school is a half day because it's freshman orientation. Hopefully after that I'll have a better understanding of what the heck I'm doing. Probably not though.

Ugh. My ankle hurts from soccer practice. Soccer has been a blessing and death. It's nice cause it gets me out of bed early so I'm semi-used to getting up at 5:30 (haha no I'm not) and I know some high school kids now that I can ask where the heck I'm supposed to be. But it hurts!

I just realized I only posted once in August. Wow I really suck.

I honestly can't promise how frequently I'll be able to post throughout the school year. It will probably be when I'm procrastinating cause I don't want to do my homework. Like I'm doing now..........

Just kidding. All the homework that is due the first day of school is done. I've accomplished something in the past three months.

I've also been kind of obsessed with gifs lately, and instead of just posting them in a list, I decided to be slightly humorous. So, here is how kids handle summer work, as told through gifs.


When your teacher tells you at the end of the school year you have summer work.

But it's summer! You're not supposed to have homework over the summer!

Then they hand out the summer work, and you realize it's so much work.

How am I expected to finish all of this in two and a half months? I have to get started now.

You get home, ready to start your homework to get it done as quickly as possible.

Yes! I'm going to be done by July!

Then this happens.

You get kidnapped by the internet.

By the end of July, you still haven't touched your homework.

The internet hasn't let you out of its grasp.

Your mom asks if you've started your homework.

Um........ no?

At the start of August, part of your brain panics cause you only have a month left.

The rest of your brain tells you to chill. You have plenty of time!

All your friends want to know if you've started that math assignment because they want to compare answers.

Yeah, haven't started yet.

The week before school starts, you really begin to panic.

Crap! I forgot about my summer homework! I haven't even started!

You quickly jump on your computer to frantically write that essay required.

There are so many spelling errors, you make sure to attach a red pen on the paper for the teacher.

You wish you could this:

How else am I supposed to read a 500 page book in a week?

You then realize why your friends asked for help.

We didn't learn this! How am I expected to know how to do this? Oh God, I'm not going to finish.

Your computer begins to lag from all of your frantic typing and searches.

No, this can't be happening!

When you finish an assignment, you feel like a weight was lifted off your shoulders.

One down, 5 more to go!

You're done! You can finally take a sigh of relief.

Thank God I finished! I am never doing this again.

After staying up all night to finish your homework, you crash.

Zzzzzzzz......

You tell yourself you are never waiting to do your homework last minute again. Yeah, that never happens. 

FYI: I did exaggerate a ton with this. I did not do this. However, I do know people who waited till the week before school (AKA, now) to do their summer homework. I was smarter than that. Go me!

Happy back to school! Said no student ever.

I'm Addicted to Tic-Tacs

I have braces. Which means no sticky substances, which includes gum. I love gum. Whenever I'm in the car, I'll have a piece of gum (sugar free of course). It's just something nice to chew on to occupy my mouth. It also leaves you with nice smelling breath.

Of course then when I got my braces, it was a little difficult to give up my beloved gum. I needed to find something to replace the gum I normally chew in the car.

What is the solution to that? Tic-tacs. 

I got a large container of fruity tic-tacs for Easter, which I got addicted to. I finished the container in about a week. Whenever I sit near my container, I have to take some. It's really sad actually. My mom keeps tic-tacs in the car for me, and it's very hard to restrain myself from eating the entire container.

Weirdly, I'm not a big fan of the mint tic-tacs, so I don't eat as many of those. But the fruity ones, forget it.

I also get really protective of my tic-tacs. Once I had a party with some friends and two of them decided to help themselves to my tic-tacs. Which is fine, but they took a handful each. I yelled at them for it. They haven't taken my tic-tacs without my consent since.

The only good thing about being obsessed with tic-tacs is that the containers make great bobby pin holders. Just wrap them in some duct tape and voila! A bobby pin container. Oh, and my breath is always fruity fresh.

And mentos. I'm kinda-sorta addicted to mentos too. Not as bad as my mom though. When she needed her crown on her tooth fixed, she couldn't chew gum either. So she bought mentos. Problem is, she'd eat an entire sleeve in one sitting. I'd eat one or two, and my mom would eat the rest. Good thing she doesn't drink soda anymore.

P.S. I'm eating orange tic-tacs as we speak. Or, as I write and you read.
